Total 2007 mill rates for residential and farm properties have decreased from 2006 levels by 18.64% and 6.16% respectively. The mill rate for machinery and equipment has decreased by 8.83%. The Machinery and Equipment mill rate is tied to the non-residential mill rate and is equal to the non-residential rate less the school mill rate. The non-residential mill rate has decreased by 11.92% due to a decrease in the school requisition mill rate and growth in non-residential assessment. Taxes on individual properties are calculated by multiplying the mill rate by the assessed value of the property and dividing by 1,000. Taxes on farmland will decrease 6.16% from 2006 as the assessed values for farmland have not changed. Residential taxes will change depending on change in assessment of the property. If the assessment increase was less than 23% taxes will decrease. If the assessed value of the property increased by more than 23% taxes will increase. Assessment changes occur as the result of additions to the property or changes in the market value of the property.

Subdivision
The assessed value of your property
reflects the status of the parcel as of December 31, 2007. If your parcel has been,
or will be, subdivided in 2008, the newly created parcel(s) will not be assessed or taxed
separately until the tax year 2009. It is the policy of the M.D. to apply the 2008
levy to the parcel that has the improvements or, if vacant, to the “parent”
parcel. Please contact the Tax Department if you require a separation of the taxes
for sale purposes -- Phone: (403) 652-2341.
