Estimate a bill and check your assessment

Census survey estimates, 2020–2024. These county medians describe a survey population; they do not establish your home’s correct assessment.

Median home value
$259,900
Median annual taxes paid
$2,174
Estimated effective rate
0.84%

Census home values, Census taxes paid. Last verified 2026-10-24. Rate = median taxes ÷ median home value. Displayed rates are rounded; calculations use the unrounded ratio.

Example at $259,900: $2,174 per year, using the Census estimate.

Is my assessment too high?

At the default market value and bill, both equal the county medians. Being above a median does not establish overassessment. Assessed or taxable values may use a different basis and cannot be compared directly with Census market values.

Appeal timing and filing

Published appeal deadline: December 31, 2026 (announced).

Use the county’s 2026 Board of Equalization and Review appeal form; the county extended 2026 appeals through December 31 under Senate Bill 889.
