1. How are my property taxes determined?

The market value of a property is multiplied by the assessment percentage (9.5%) resulting in the assessed value. The assessed value is then multiplied by the mill levy to generate property tax dollars.

A mill is a $1 revenue for each $1,000 of assessed valuation.

Market Value times 9.5% (assessment Percentage) equals the Assessed Value multiplied by Mill Levy which equals Tax Dollars

2. Who sets the mill levy?

The Teton County Commissioners set the mill levy based on budget requests from various taxing districts such as school districts, counties, water or sewer districts, improvement and service districts, and hospitals. These various tax districts provide services to you and they are listed on your tax notice.

3. Can I protest my property taxes to the Assessor?

You can only protest your property`s actual value.  Objections to the  amount of taxes have to be taken to the taxing districts.
