Local Property Taxes
Local property taxes are fees homeowners and property owners pay annually to local governments, such as cities or counties. These taxes are based on the value of the property—homes, land, or other real estate—and are used to fund community services like schools, roads, public safety, and parks. The amount you pay depends on your property's assessed value and the local tax rate. These taxes are essential for maintaining and improving community infrastructure and services that benefit residents and the overall quality of life.
