The Proposed Property Tax Notice is mailed in mid-November each year. This notice is also known as the Truth in Taxation (TNT) Notice. It estimates the property tax due the following year.
Look up your proposed tax notice
View your notice and other tax related documents by going to Property Information Search. Find your property by address number or property identification number.
Proposed taxes may change
The estimated tax on the notice will likely be different from the final total. They may differ for any of the following reasons:
- Referendums could pass, increasing your tax.
- Property owners can file for a homestead if they own and occupy their homes by Dec. 31.
- Taxing jurisdictions can lower their tax levy.
- Special assessments may be billed on the tax statement.
Attend the public meetings
State law requires the county, cities, school districts and some special districts to hold public meetings. The district will give a budget presentation and the public will have the opportunity to ask questions. See the
meeting calendar to find out when and where they are being held.
The following are districts that don't have to hold a meeting:
- Cities with a population under 500
- Townships
- Special taxing districts (housing and redevelopment authorities, city port authorities, hospital districts and watersheds)
