Prospective New Homeowners or Business Owners

The Tax Office is happy to answer any questions on your prospective new home.  We can confirm the school district, prior taxes paid, etc.  We can also give you a projection of future taxes.  This projection is an educated guess on our part; usually the actual tax rates are not available until just a few weeks before the bills are printed.  We are here to assist you.  Please call with any questions.
