Property Taxes: Who Really Sets the Rate?
Update: 2025-12-03
Description
Property taxes arent solely determined by assessors; elected officials decide the total amount to collect, then assessors calculate individual tax rates based on property values. This system often shifts blame for tax increases to assessors, who merely perform calculations. Homeowners may face tax hikes due to rising home values, even if the tax rate appears to decrease. Understanding this complex system is key to holding the right officials accountable and promoting fiscal responsibility.
