     Value           >    $200  ($200,000 divided by 1,000)
     x Levy rate    >    13.24
     = Taxes        >   $2,648

Your property tax levy rate is an amount derived by dividing the amount of each taxing district's budget within the area you live (we call this a code district) by the total assessed value of the property within the district. Each of the various taxing districts' levy rates calculated in this manner is added together to derive your combined rate.

Taxes are collected on business equipment, farm and ranch equipment, utilities and mobile homes. This is all considered Personal Property.  Personal Property tax is based on the value of existing property as of January 1st of the prior year. You can call the Assessor’s Office with questions regarding assessment of personal property at 360-875-9301.

Your assessed value may be higher this year due to a re-evaluation by the Assessor. Also, the rate in your district could be higher this year due to school levies, etc.
