“We know you have many questions about property taxes, and we have assembled the experts who can answer them,” said Commissioner Lora Thomas. “There is a lot still unfolding at the state level, and we’ll be providing information at this Live Town Hall.”
Here are a few things to know about property taxes:
- State law governs the appraisal process; county assessors implement that law.
- According to state law, reappraisal occurs in odd-numbered years, and property is assessed in arrears. This year, Real Property values are established as of June 30, 2022 – for which property taxes will be owed in early 2024.
- Taxing authorities tax properties based on that assessed value. Visit douglas.co.us/assessor to view taxing authorities for your property specifically, which may include Douglas County, municipalities, the school district, the library district, special districts, fire districts and water districts.
