Tax Calculation 2023-2024

Assessed Value

19,590

The assessed value is set by the assessor. The assessed value is multiplied by a rollback factor resulting in the Net Assessed Value.

⁸The rollback factor varies for each parcel, consequently it is not possible to display a single rollback percentage. (The County Auditor can supply the actual rollback(s) for each parcel.)

The Military exemption, if any, is subtracted from the Net Assessed Value giving the Taxable Value.

The Levy Rate (%) is set annually by the state. Gross Taxes Due are calculated by multiplying the taxable value by the Levy Rate.

From the Gross Taxes Due several credits may be given. These include the Homestead Credit, Elderly Credit (determined by income), Agriculture Land Credit, Family Farm, (percent of value), and Business Property Tax Credits.

Finally, any future payments are subtracted from the Gross Taxes Due. This yields the Net Taxes Due which are rounded to the nearest even dollar. Taxes are payable in two installments due on Sept 30, 2023 and on March 31, 2024
