| Tax Levies and Assessed Values |
back |
There are a number of different taxing districts in a jurisdiction, each
with a different levy. Each year the County Auditor determines for that
district a levy that will yield enough money to pay for schools, police
and fire protection, road maintenance and other services budgeted for in
the area. The tax levy is applied to each $1,000 of a property's taxable
value.
The value determined by the assessor is the assessed value and is the
value indicated on the assessment roll.
The taxable value is the value determined by the auditor after
application of state ordered "rollback" percentages for the various
classes of property and is the value indicated on the tax statement.
When comparing the value of your property with other properties
always compare with the value on the assessment roll or the assessor's
property record cards and not the value indicated on the tax statement.
