Why is the amount of taxes on my tax statement I received in March/April different than what was shown on the Notice of Proposed Taxes that I received in November?

The Notice of Proposed tax or Truth in Taxation ("TNT") is an estimate. They may differ for any of the following reasons:

  • Referendums could have passed, increasing your tax
  • Property owners may have filed for homestead classification if they own and occupy their homes by December 1st of an assessment year.
  • Taxing jurisdictions may have lowered or increased their tax levy. 
  • Although not a tax, special assessments and other charges may be billed on the tax statement. These charges do not appear on the Notice of Proposed Taxes.
