Property Tax Time

Hello! It's that time of year again. Property tax bills are coming in the mail. Let's take a look at some of the most common questions people have about property taxes.

What is property tax?

Property tax is a mandatory municipal obligation that every homeowner has to pay to their city to help fund essential public services such as roads, police, fire, waste collection and many other things that make our community great.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

✓Claim your homeowners grant, that's $570.00 off your annual taxes.

✓The bank will not pay the homeowners grant on your behalf, pay through the government website.

✓Most cities do have an automatic bill payment option through your online banking.

✓Property taxes are due July 4th, pay on time to avoid any late fees!
