Q: When are property taxes due in Page County for FY 2025?
A: The first half of both real estate and personal property taxes is due June 5, and the second half is due December 5. Late payments are subject to penalties and interest.
Q: What tax credits are available and how do I apply?
A: Page County offers tax credits for qualifying seniors (65+) and totally disabled individuals. Applications must be filed annually between January 1 and April 1 with the Commissioner of Revenue. These are tax credits that reduce your tax bill, not exemptions that reduce assessed value.
Q: How does the senior tax credit work?
A: Qualifying seniors and disabled persons may receive tax credits that directly reduce their tax liability. This is different from a homestead exemption - it doesn't cap assessment increases but provides a dollar-for-dollar reduction in taxes owed. Annual application is required.
Q: How often is my property reassessed?
A: Page County follows a regular assessment cycle. Property owners receive assessment notices and have the right to appeal assessments during designated appeal periods. Contact the Commissioner of Revenue for current assessment schedules.
Q: What are the penalties for late payment?
A: Interest accrues on unpaid taxes at a rate of 10 percent per annum from the due date. Additional penalties may apply for significantly delinquent accounts.
Q: Can I pay my property taxes online?
A: Contact the Page County Treasurer's office at the county administration building for current online payment options and accepted payment methods.
Q: What is Personal Property Tax Relief Act (PPTRA)?
A: Page County provides PPTRA relief at 23% for qualifying vehicles, which reduces the effective tax rate on personal property like cars and trucks. This relief is automatically applied to qualifying vehicles.
Q: Are there special district taxes in my area?
A: Some areas of Page County may have additional assessments for special districts providing services like fire protection or utilities. Check with the Commissioner of Revenue to determine if your property is in a special taxing district.
Q: How do I appeal my property assessment?
A: Property owners who disagree with their assessment can file an appeal during the designated appeal period. Contact the Commissioner of Revenue for appeal procedures, deadlines, and required documentation.
Q: What happens if I don't apply for available tax credits?
A: Tax credits are not automatically applied - you must file applications annually between January 1 and April 1. Missing the application deadline means you won't receive the credit for that tax year, even if you qualify.
