Property Tax Appeals
The Property and Special Taxes Department administers three major property tax programs:
- State-Assessed Property Program;
- Private Railroad Car Tax Program;
- Timber Yield Tax Program.
In addition, the Department provides guidance to the 58 county
assessors, who are charged with establishing values for approximately
12 million properties each year, and monitors the adequacy of their
assessment practices. The Tax Area Services Section is responsible for
maintaining all property tax-rate area maps and for maintaining special
revenue district boundaries.
