Every 6 years we have a county wide reassessment of land and buildings to keep things in check with the current market situation. New construction is picked up at the beginning of every year (1/1/current year)
Personal Property is assessed every year. Any property in the county as of 1/1 of that year is taxed all year as we are not a pro-rating county. Tax relief for the elderly and disabled applications are accepted Feb 1- May 1 every year. Age disability and income requirements apply. New parcels of land are created constantly throughout the year due to deeds splitting parcels and merging parcels. Business Licenses can be obtained at any point during the year but renewals are due March 1 every year.
