Property Taxes

Taxation is responsible for:

 

  • Preparing and mailing the annual tax and assessment notices
  • The administration of the Tax Installment Payment Plan (TIPP)
  • Responding to tax inquiries

Property taxes are the primary source of revenue for the City.  The City uses property taxes to finance new programs, services and initiatives, including the following:

  • Family and community support services
  • Road construction and maintenance
  • Parks and leisure facilities
  • Police and Fire protection
  • Snow removal

Property Taxation is the process of calculating a tax by multiplying the assessment by a tax rate.  Tax rates are calculated based on the amount of tax revenue that is required to pay for the services that are provided.  The formula to calculate your taxes is as follows:

 

                Property Assessment x Mill Rate

                                       1000

 

If your property assessment was $280,000, and the Mill Rate was 8.439 (as it is in 2010), your taxes would be:

 

                $280,000 x 8.439 = $2,362.92 per year

                                1000

The Tax & Assessment notices will be in the mail during the month of May of each year

 

The tax year runs from January 1st to December 31st, and the tax bill is due half way through the year on June 30th.
