Refunds and Credits

Property Tax Refunds and Credits
Finance applies most property tax credits towards your next bill unless you request a refund. Please allow 8 weeks to process your claim.

Reasons for Property Tax Credits:

  1. Overpayments - There is a credit on your tax bill if two people make a payment at the same time or if a charge is canceled after it was already paid. This type of credit will only be refunded to the person who made the payment.
  2. Reduction in property's assessed value - There is a credit on your tax bill because you appealed your property's assessed value and received a reduction after we sent your initial property tax bill.
  3. Property Tax Exemption - There is a credit on your tax bill because you received a property tax exemption that reduced your property taxes after we sent your initial property tax bill.



City Register Refunds
You should complete the City Register Recording Fee Refund Request form if you have a credit on your tax bill because you overpaid or double paid for the same City Register transaction.
