Property Tax Rate Levy
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.
