How is my Real Property Taxed

Tax Rates are not set by the County Assessor. They are set by all budget authorities and are separated into two types:
 Primary Rates:  are set by government entities such as counties, cities, and towns. They are applied to the “Limited Property Value” to determine taxes due. These taxes are used for the basic expenses of government and schools.

Secondary Rates:  are set by special districts, fire districts and bond issues. Usually, taxpayers vote for these districts and bonds, so the rates are applied to the Full Cash Value to determine taxes due.

                

The Assessor does NOT do:

  • Does not raise or lower taxes
  • Does not collect taxes.
  • Does not determine your tax rate.
