The Tax Division of Finance is responsible for the issuing of tax bills and the collection of all taxes (real estate, personal property and motor vehicles), and tax liens levied by the City.

Mill Rate for current Fiscal Year 2008-2009 is 30.89 Mills.

A Mill is 1/1000 of a dollar

Taxes are computed by multiplying assessment value by the Mill Rate
Example: Assessed Value of Property $200,000
Mill Rate $30.89

Therefore: $200,000 x .03089=$6,178.00 annual tax

Real Estate Taxes and Personal Property Taxes over $100 are due in two installments. One-half due July 1st and one-half due January 1st.

Regular Motor Vehicle Taxes due in one installment on July 1st.
