When adopting the annual budget, the Board of County Supervisors sets a countywide tax rate plus special district tax rates. The special district levies fund the operations of the volunteer fire and rescue companies, the storm water management program, the solid waste management program, and certain public services requested by property owners to be funded through special real property levies. The tax rate is expressed in dollars per one hundred dollars of assessed value. For example, the tax on a property assessed at $200,000, with a total tax rate of $1.212, is calculated as follows: ($200,000 / 100) x $1.212 = $2,424.00 The total real estate tax amount is due in two installments. First-half real estate taxes are due July 15 and second-half taxes are due on December 5 as shown on the tax calendar. Also billed on the real estate tax bills is the special district tax for the gypsy moth abatement program. This tax is based on property values and is billed on the first-half and second-half tax bills. The County also levies a supplemental real estate tax on newly-constructed improvements completed after the beginning of the year.
