How are my property taxes calculated?


Adjusted millage rates are assigned to all taxing bodies

by the assessor, and by law must be adopted by their

board. However, each taxing body board can then vote

to “roll up” these adjusted millage rates.

THIS IS A TAX INCREASE.

 

The purpose of reassessment is to ensure the uniform and

equitable valuation of all property, not to raise taxes or

increase revenue for taxing bodies.

 

The goal is to be revenue-neutral.

That’s why the assessor gives the taxing bodies the

adjusted millage rates.

 

Each board must hold a public hearing before voting to

adopt the millage rate for their district. This is your

opportunity to address these taxing bodies and speak out

for or against the tax increase.

 

It is possible for taxes to have increased slightly with any

increased adjusted millage rates, but if a taxing body

rolls up their millage rates it will result in higher taxes.
