Info
Local-only tax — revenue funds schools, county government and special districts (none goes to state services). Tax = actual value x assessment rate x local mill levies. 2026 residential assessment rates: 6.8% (local government) and 7.05% (school district); most commercial 25-26%. County assessors revalue real property every odd-numbered year; senior and disabled-veteran exemptions available.
