Information for completing Property Tax Calculator:

1. Type of Property – There are four (4) main categories provided to assist you in estimating your property taxes

• Residential – this would be for a residential type property only where the land is also classified for residential purposes, which may include properties in hamlets and resorts.
• Farmland – this would be for the majority of farms, where it can include both a residential property (farm house) and the farmland. You may also use this option for only farmland as well, as a residential portion is not always included on a section of land.
• Non-Residential – this would be for all other properties that are not residential nor farmland. This may include assessment for industrial/commercial properties, machinery & equipment, and/or linear properties such as wells and pipelines.
• Multiple types – this is a “catch all” selection for those properties that have many different type of assessment classes on one parcel, such as commercial activities on a farm. You may select any applicable assessment classes that relate to your property.

2. County Districts / Location – There are currently six (6) fire and recreation districts within the County, each of which have different applicable tax rates for fire and recreation.

There are some slight differences between the districts. To get the most accurate property tax estimated, please ensure that you find your correct district.  You may use your prior tax notice to find your district by reviewing your fire and recreation tax rates.  You may also use the following maps to assist in determining the correct fire and recreation districts.
