Your Tax Bill

Your tax bill is issued in July each year. Taxes are subject to interest and penalty if not received by the date shown on the front of your bill. Real property taxes that remain unpaid by the second Monday in May will be sold to the highest bidder at the County's annual tax sale. Failure to receive a tax bill will not relieve the taxpayer from paying taxes, interest and penalty.

Assessment & Tax Rate

The State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) is responsible for reassessing property once every three years. Your assessment and tax rate are shown on the front of your tax bill. To calculate your bill, divide the assessment by 100 and multiply by the tax rate, then add any charges - the result should equal the amount due.

To view your property assessment information, visit to the State's Real Property Search Page here: SDAT: Real Property Data Search

If you disagree with your assessed value, you can file an appeal with SDAT.  You can find more information here:  Assessment Appeal Process
