How do I get the best tax rate for my home?
If you own a home, you want to be sure to obtain the 4% assessment rate if you live in the home as your legal residence. Otherwise, your tax rate will be 6%. To obtain the lower rate, you will need to complete an application with the County Assessor. This should be done as soon as you move into your house, but may be filed anytime before January 16 (or the first penalty date). Once you file this application, you will not need to complete another one unless ownership changes or use of the property changes.
