Will my taxes go up if the market value of my property increases?

Property taxes do not automatically increase simply because the fair market value of the property has increased. Market value is only a portion of the formula used in calculating tax amounts. The formula for determining actual tax dollars is as follows:

  • Fair market value multiplied by level of assessment equals assessed value
  • Assessed value multiplied by mill levy equals tax dollars
