Property taxes

Property tax levy

The property tax levy is designed to share the cost of government services. The cost of government services determines the property tax levy, not your estimated market value.

The property tax levy reflects the budgets and expenses of all the various taxing jurisdictions (i.e. city, county, school district) in which you reside. 

Property tax 

The property tax reflects the sum of “your share” of the property tax levy of the various taxing jurisdictions in which you reside. It fluctuates based on changing budgets of the various taxing jurisdictions and shifts in a property’s share of total estimated market value.

When are property taxes due?

Property taxes are due May 15 and October 15 of each year.
