Enter Your Assessed Property Value

This simulator helps to illustrate how changes to City services affect our City budget and property tax rates. Moving the sliders left or right will decrease or increase levels of individual city services, show how these changes will impact how those services are delivered to citizens and calculate how those budgetary changes will affect your property tax bill. 

Enter your assessed property value below to estimate your property tax bill at the end of this 4 year planning cycle (2019). If you don't own a home, or aren't sure of your property's current assessed value, you can use a median assessed property value: $178,600. 

*The simulator does not predict assessed house values or tax bills for 2018. It provides an indication of the approximate order of magnitude based on your property's current place in the Arlen Hill Market. Your actual property tax bill in 2018 will be based on the actual assessed value of your property in 2018 relative to the rest of the Arlen Hill market and actual tax rate decision for 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The exercise is for demo purposes only. The calculated property tax bill for 2014 is estimated based on Council approved budget as of November 2013. The actual bill will be based on the final approved budget and tax rate that Council will approve in April 2014.
