| The Property and Special Taxes Department administers three major property tax programs: the State-Assessed Property program; the Private Railroad Car Tax program; and the Timber Yield Tax program. In addition, the Department provides guidance to
the 58 county assessors, who are charged with establishing values for approximately
12 million properties each year, and monitors the adequacy of their assessment
practices. The Tax Area Services Section is responsible for maintaining
all property tax-rate area maps and for maintaining special
revenue district boundaries. |
