My assessed value declined; why did my tax bill increase?

Your taxes may be higher than they were last year for any or all of three general reasons:

  • The local governments (such as schools and municipalities) in your area may have approved a higher tax levy than last year.
  • You may not be receiving all of the exemptions for which your property is eligible.
  • Other properties in your area may qualify for one or more exemptions for which you are not eligible.
