Your property tax is billed and collected by the County Treasurer’s Office who then distributes it to the taxing authorities that serve your property. There are over 300 taxing authorities in our County that have certified a mill levy to the County. Each of these entities receive a share of your tax dollars depending on where your property is located. The County Government has no control over how much these entities tax you, we just collect and distribute the taxes.
To see a breakout of which ones you support with your property tax dollar (and compare with other areas and communities if you wish) go to www.yourdougcotaxes.com. Generally, the largest portion of your tax bill goes to the Douglas County School District (often about 50%).
Property tax billing statements/notifications are mailed annually in late January.
