Property Taxes
The taxable base is the assessed value of land and buildings. Assessed value is 35% of market value, except for certain agricultural land. County auditors must reappraise all real estate every six years. The latest data available from the state (TY2006) shows the average statewide gross tax rate was 85.24 mills. A homestead exemption is available to the homesteads of qualified homeowners who are either at least 65 years old, permanently and totally disabled, or at least 59 years of age and the surviving spouse of a deceased taxpayer who had previously received the exemption. Before the 2007 tax year, eligibility was limited to taxpayers who earned $26,2000 or less, with benefits tiered according to income. Starting with the 2007 tax year (bills payable in 2008) income tests and tiered benefits no longer apply. Instead each qualified homeowner is eligible for a credit worth the taxes that would have been charged on up to $25,000 in true value ($8,750 in taxable value). In other words, starting with the 2007 tax year, an eligible homestead worth $100,000 would essentially be taxed as if it was worth $75,000. For more details, click here.
