As Property Appraiser, one of my responsibilities is to steward the TRIM process which stands for Truth In Millage. That means making sure you understand each component that determines your estimated property taxes. We have created a new educational video and a printable two-page handout, titled “How Millage Rates Affect Your Taxes”. We hope these tools will help provide an understanding of how local government budget and millage rate decisions impact your property taxes. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call my office! To view the handout, click on the image below.

The Taxing Authorities which levy property taxes against your property will soon hold PUBLIC HEARINGS to adopt budgets and tax rates for the next year. The purpose of the PUBLIC HEARINGS is to receive opinions from the general public and to answer questions on the proposed tax changes and budgets PRIOR TO TAKING FINAL ACTION. Each Taxing Authority may AMEND OR ALTER its proposals at the hearing. You will find all taxing authority budget hearing dates, locations, times and contact phone numbers below.
