Property Tax Agencies
Programs that are responsible for establishing the value of taxable real property within a specified geographic area to determine the amount of property tax the owners will be required to pay each tax year, notifying taxpayers of their property tax obligations, collecting property tax payments, pursuing unpaid property taxes and responding to property taxpayer complaints. In some jurisdictions, the property tax assessments and collections are handled by different agencies. In others, both responsibilities are handled by the same office.
