Special Assessments
In an effort to offer a more comprehensive comparison on how the cities and towns in our Residential Homestead Property Tax Survey raise revenue, the Citizens League has added data this year on special assessments. Although special assessments are not property taxes, they are charges that are applied to property based on the benefit to the property from infrastructure such as water and sewer service, sidewalks, or curbs and gutters. To compare cities and towns, we have calculated special assessments on a per capita basis. Special assessment data represents revenue raised from all types of property, not just residential homesteads.
