Tax Administration
The Revenue Department and the Tax Assessors Department, including the Land Records Division, have merged to become the Tax Administration Department. The Tax Administration Department continues to be staffed by an experienced and qualified group of individuals and continues to provide the citizens and public with the same high level of customer service as each department has in the past.
Land Records
Land Records is responsible for maintaining property information used in public inquiry and legal research. Land Records uses public documents to create and maintain the official index of property ownership in the County.
The Tax Assessment Division is responsible for identifying, reporting and assigning a value to taxable property. These values are used to ensure equitable taxation across the County.
Revenue & Collections
The Revenue & Collections Division supervises the timely collection and disposition of taxes within the County. Revenue & Collections collects taxes on personal property, real estate, businesses, registered motor vehicles and collects ambulance billing. In addition, Revenue & Collections issues business licenses for beer/wine and massage and mobile home moving permits.
