Property Tax Bill Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does "Credits Amount Due" mean? What should I do if I still have a credit remaining?

Any overpaid property tax will be credited to your account. If you do nothing, it will be automatically applied to your next tax bill.

You can ask for the credits to be applied to other tax periods or you can request a refund by completing a Property Refund Request form. Some credits are treated differently. As an example, if you had a lawyer challenge your property assessment, your property tax refund will be sent to your lawyer. For more information read about Refunds and Credits.

Why are there two addresses on the bill?

The address on the upper left is the property address. The address on the upper right is the mailing address that Finance has on record for sending notices about the property.

Where can I find information about my property's exemptions or abatements?

The last page of your Property Tax Bill has information about how your property taxes are calculated for the year. If you have a property tax exemption, you will see it in this section.

I lost my Property Tax Bill. Can I get a replacement?

You can always download and print a copy of your Property Tax Bill on this web site. If you lost the original bill, and are making a payment, you can pay electronically or print out and send in the online copy with your tax payment. You do not need to request a duplicate bill.

How can I pay my property tax payment?

You can make your Property Tax Payments online, by mail or in-person. Visit the payments page.
