DirectBill Program
Show All Answers
1.
How do I sign up for the DirectBill program?
Business property accounts will be reviewed annually by the assessor, using a number of factors, to determine who is eligible for this program. Those businesses qualifying are then added to the DirectBill program by the assessor. Businesses cannot themselves decide to join the program, though they can decide not to stay in the program.
Contact the Assessor
2.
What is the Proposed Assessment Value? Is this how much I owe in taxes?
The Proposed Assessment Value is the assessor's determination of the value of your property, not your tax amount. The Tax Collector will calculate the taxes you owe based upon this value. Your taxes will be about 1% of this assessment value. For more information, contact the
Assessor.
3.
What do I have to do if I don't have any changes and the assessment value is reasonable?
If you agree with the assessment, and there are no reportable changes, you don't have to do anything else. The Tax Collector will send you a Tax Bill later in the year.
4.
What happens if I don't report new equipment annually?
If you do not report new equipment and that equipment "escapes" assessment for any year, the assessor is obligated by law to process an "escape assessment" back to the date of acquisition. You would then have to pay back taxes on that amount, plus possible penalties and interest on the tax amount. This process requires more assessor and tax collector resources to process than making the changes as they occur, and you will end up making a larger lump-sum tax payment. For more information, contact the
Assessor.
5.
What should I do if I've closed my business?
If you have closed your business, you need to notify the assessor of the change. Even though the business may have closed, the equipment is still assessable. You need to report to the assessor whether you have disposed of the equipment, or whether you still retain the equipment. If you do not report on the disposal of equipment, the assessor will continue to assess you for that equipment. For more information or follow-up questions,
Contact the Assessor.
