Real Estate Property Taxes

Real Estate Property Taxes are based on the assessed value of real property as of January 1 of the current year. Real property includes land and all structures permanently affixed to it, such as homes, garages, barns, and similar buildings. This also includes certain movable structures, such as single-wide mobile homes, if they are attached to a permanent foundation.

Key Dates and Information:

  • August 31, 2025 – 0.5% discount for payments made on or before this date
  • September 1, 2025 – Taxes are due
  • January 5, 2026 – Last day to pay without interest or penalties

No interest will be charged on unpaid taxes until the first week of January. After that:

  • 2% interest when taxes become delinquent (early January)
  • 0.75% monthly interest until paid in full
Please ensure timely payment to avoid interest and penalties.
