Is your property tax-exempt? The Hamilton County auditor is checking
For the first time in 16 years, Hamilton County will check to make sure tax-exempt properties still qualify.
Hamilton County Auditor Jessica Miranda said in a news release Tuesday her office will be reviewing 26,000 property tax-exempt parcels. Owners will be getting a letter in the coming weeks.
Properties that do not qualify for exemptions, such as buildings that used to be religious spaces and are now apartments, should be issued a bill to make sure they "pay their fair share."
Assessors will review 26,000 properties exempt from property taxes, which make up approximately 7.4% of properties in the county.
Owners can expect an assessor at some point this summer for an in-person review, according to the auditor's office. Assessment services are contracted through Tyler Technologies, a Texas-based software company.
"The last time our office conducted this thorough of a review was in 2009," Miranda said in the release.
If you believe your property qualifies for a tax exemption, you can fill out this form on the auditor's website.
