The 2020 ad valorem property tax rate levy for the Tightwad FIre Protection District was set at the August 8, 2020 meeting of the Board of Directors to be $0.2873 per $100 assessed valuation.

• Real estate property is assessed at 19% of market value
• Commercial property is assessed at 32% of market value
• Agricultural property is assessed at 12% of market value

Personal property, including mobile homes, is generally assessed at 33⅓% of market value; however, antique vehicles, crops, & livestock are assessed at 5% of market value

For example, a home in the District worth $100,000 should have an assessed value of $19,000; therefore, 190 units of $100 assessed valuation multiplied by the rate of $0.2873 equals $54.59 in property taxes paid to the District.
