1. When are County Property Taxes due?

Property Tax is paid annually. Tax Notices are typically mailed in mid to late September each year and are payable through the end of February. They become delinquent on March 1. Please thoroughly review your tax notice as it provides much helpful information such as a discount for early payment. Tax Notices are not required by State law but are sent as a reminder. If you do not receive your notice(s) by October 1 of any given year, please notify our office. Also, please notify us if your mailing address changes.

The Trustee does not determine the amount of your Property Tax bill, but the following shows an example. Your value/appraisal should be on your Property Tax bill.

Example of $250,000 residential property:

$250,000   (Appraised value of property set by the County Assessor’s Office)

x .25          (Residential property is assessed taxes on 25% of value set by County)

-----------

$ 62,500    (Assessment)

x .0159      ($1.59 tax rate set by County per $100 of assessment)

-----------

$ 994         (2023 County Property Tax Bill)
