Special Assessments - Direct charges against property which are included in the total amount of your tax bill but which are not property taxes in the sense of being based on the Assessor's valuation. A sewer service charge is an example of this assessment. Special Taxing Districts - Property tax levying agencies ranging from Air Pollution Control Districts to Sanitation and Sanitary Districts, both of which provide sewer service. In addition, the rate will include an amount equal to the amount needed to make payments for the interest and principal on general obligation bonds or other indebtedness approved by the voters. The Assessor's Office establishes and updates over 1,328 maps for assessment purposes which delineate all locally assessed parcels of land in the county.
Staff also maintains ownership information, mailing addresses, and taxable values.
