Property tax distribution

Three groups—County Assessor, Controller-Treasurer, and Tax Collector—administer the County's property taxes:​

  • The Assessor is responsible for establishing assessed values used in calculating property taxes, and maintaining ownership and address information
  • The Controller-Treasurer's Property Tax Division allocates and distributes the taxes to the appropriate jurisdictions countywide
  • The Tax Collector bills and collects the taxes and reports the amount collected to the Controller-Treasurer
