What are Property Taxes?

Property taxes are an ad valorem tax, meaning “ according to value”. In this case, the market value of your property. They are levied by local taxing entities and are governed by State Property Tax Laws. Property taxes pay for public schools, city streets, police and fire protection, parks and many other services.
