- Questions regarding appraisal values for real property should be directed to the Assessor's Office.

A reminder that residents can now enroll in the Treasurer's Office Advance Property Tax Installment Plan for their 2022 bill. This program allows taxpayers who own real property to split up their property tax payments into six equal payments. To participate, taxes cannot be held in escrow by a mortgage company, and October 2021 tax bills must be paid by the January 2022 deadline.
