Residences
If you own and occupy your residence, it is exempt from the 18 mill school operating tax. On a house that is worth $60,000 and a taxable value of $30,000 the savings to you would be $540 per year. If you would like to verify that our records correctly identify your house as a homeowners principal residence, you may check the status by clicking on the PROPERTY INFORMATION link to the left, then click on the "here" button to check the principal residence status.
To claim an exemption, complete the homeowners principal residence affidavit and file it with the City Assessor by May 1. If you qualify the City Assessor will adjust your taxes on your next property tax bill. Note that this is an exemption for part of your taxes, not from your taxable value.
