Real Estate & Personal Property Taxes
Before billing, the assessor determines the value of the property, sets the annual tax rate, and commits the taxes to the tax collector. Taxes are generally committed during August, with bills issued shortly thereafter. Taxes are payable in two installments, one in late September and one in late March. Reminder notices are mailed approximately thirty days prior to the second installment due date. By law, bills or reminders that are not received does not prevent interest from accruing.Electronic Tax Bills
