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
$299,000
Median annual taxes paid
$1,512
Estimated effective rate
0.51%

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 $299,000: $1,512 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

An assessment notice generally gives 90 days to appeal. If no earlier notice was sent, the last day to appeal the previous year’s value is January 15. After an appeal result, a further board appeal has a 30-day deadline.
