Hamilton County’s scheduled General Election ballot this year will include 24 new or renewing property tax levies. Early voting begins October 8; Election Day is November 5.
“The Auditor’s office provides levy information on our website (www.hamiltoncountyauditor.org) as a service to the citizens of Hamilton County,” said Miranda. “We want to ensure that we are transparent, and that people have access to this information prior to voting.”
Details for the proposed levies can be found by accessing property information for a specific parcel on the website, and then clicking “Levy Information” on the right side column.
Current property values, tax amounts, and how these amounts are distributed can be viewed by clicking on the tax distribution tab when viewing a specific parcel.
General real estate tax information, including tax rates, prior levies, and a percent of total value chart can be accessed on the Auditor’s website by clicking on Departments, and then clicking on the Real Estate Tax Department icon.
The summary of the proposed levies including the estimated cost for an owner-occupied residence currently valued at $100,000 may also be found on the Auditor’s website under the News and Notes section of the website.
