PROPERTY TAXES & TAXABLE VALUE

Taxes & property.

The components of a property-tax bill, the levy they fund, and the base over which it is spread.

YOUR ASSESSED VALUE

Your property tax, broken down.

See the published tax components for an assessed property value. Use the assessment on your tax record, rather than a market-price estimate.

Calculated from certified rates per $100 of assessed value. Before property-specific deductions, exemptions, credits, and adjustments.

Rates, levies, and assessments

A rate is expressed in dollars per $100 of assessed value. A rate can fall while the levy rises if the taxable base grows. Property-market prices, equalized values, and assessed values are distinct measures.

Certified published component rates drive the calculator. Ratios derived from levy divided by taxable value remain separate analytical measures.
