Property Taxes
Property taxes are due July 2
Claim the Home Owner Grant and pay on time to avoid the 10% late fee
Keeping taxes low is a priority
Only 1 in 4 dollars of our City budget comes from property taxes. The rest comes from grants, user fees, and reserves. We're careful to invest in the things that matter, like police and fire, roads and utilities, and services that make life better.
