- Inventory all property including quality, quantity and important characteristics
- Estimate the market value of each taxable property;

|
Tips & Tricks |
Account numbers must include the alphabetic prefix. Example: R12345
Tax lot searches require township, range, and section and all fields must be separated by a dash. Example: 27-06W-13BB-00200
If having problems searching by physical address try entering only the number and street name; sometimes less is more. For vacant land with no address try using an asterisk in place of a street number. Example: * Garden Valley

Due Dates |
To receive a discount, tax payments MUST be made timely. Due dates are November 15, 2022, February 15, 2023, and May 15, 2023. Tax payments delivered, U.S. postmarked, transmitted by private express carrier, or paid online via the Douglas County website on or before a due date will be considered timely. Interest is charged on any past due installment for the schedule you choose at the rate of 1.333% monthly, 16% annually. When calculating delinquent interest, the time period runs from the 16th of the preceding month to the 15th of the current month. If the 15th falls on a weekend day, the due date is extended to the first business day of the week.
Where tax accounts show taxes due for more than one tax year, payments MUST first be applied to the earliest year that taxes are due.
If your property tax statement is yellow, a mortgage company or the senior/disabled citizen deferral program has requested tax information to pay your tax bill. If you have any questions regarding who is paying your property tax bill, contact your mortgage company.
