2024 Tax & Budget Highlights

How to calculate your property taxes in simple steps.

Residential

  1. Taxable Assessment x Mill Rate / 1000 = Initial Levy
  2. (Initial Levy x Mill Rate Factor) + Base Tax = Municipal Levy
    1. If your Municipal Levy is LESS than the Minimum Tax, you pay the Minimum Tax. If your Municipal Levy is MORE than the Minimum Tax you pay the Municipal Levy as calculated.
  3. Taxable Assessment x School Tax Mill Rate = School Tax Levy

Commercial

  1. Taxable Assessment x Mill Rate / 1000 = Initial Levy
  2. (Initial Levy x Mill Rate Factor 1.7)  = Municipal Levy
    1. If your Municipal Levy is LESS than the Minimum Tax, you pay the Minimum Tax. If your Municipal Levy is MORE than the Minimum Tax you pay the Municipal Levy as calculated.
  3. Taxable Assessment x School Tax Mill Rate = School Tax Levy
