Impact of Taxes - Amount or Values
If you have questions or concerns with regard to why property taxes increased or decreased, you may contact the clerk or elected officials for that taxing jurisdiction. If you have questions or concerns with regard to the value of your property, you may contact the Assessor for the Town. Contact information for such officials is available to the public and located in the Contact Us portion of this website, as well as for the other jurisdictions.
How Taxes are Calculated
Taxes are calculated based on the budget adopted by the governing body of a tax jurisdiction, State, County, Municipality, Tech School, School District, Lake District, which are then applied to property values generating a mill rate. This mill rate is then calculated for every $1,000 of property value per each owner. Therefore, if the mill rate is $1.00 and your home has a value of $100,000 - your property tax liability is $100.
The formula - Use the Total Net Mill Rate and divide it by 1,000. Next, multiply the property's assessed value by the mill rate, and the total is the property tax liability.
