Property Taxes & Property Assessments
UNDERSTANDING THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING

It's  okay to not like property taxes, however something I've long held as a truth is it is never okay to not understand something which you allow yourself to be angry about. That is just one of the reasons why when I'm elected I will offer numerous public engagement nights centered around various topics which in my nearly two decades of experience people seem to misunderstand the most.

​

One of those nights will focus on delivering an overview of assessments and taxes; helping people understand that they are not the same thing, and what office to reach out to about questions in each.

​

​

Some of the items, but not all, which will be covered in this engagement night:

​

Assessments

• What are they supposed to represent?​

• How often do they / should they change?​​

  • What items impact or change them?

  • What is being assessed?​​​​​​

• Where to go to ask questions or appeal?

​

Taxes

• What is their purpose?

• Where does your money go?

• What items impact or change them?

• How do I read the TS-1 (tax bill)

• Where to go to ask questions?
