Total 2011 mill rates for residential and farm properties have increased from 2010 levels by 4.28% and 4.30% respectively. The mill rate for machinery and equipment has increased by 6.21%. The Machinery and equipment mill rate is tied to the non-residential mill rate and is equal to the non-residential rate less the school mill rate. The non-residential mill rate has increased by 4.30%. Taxes on individual properties are calculated by multiplying the mill rate by the assessed value of the property and dividing by 1,000. Taxes on farmland will increase 4.30% from 2010 as the assessed values for farmland have not changed. Residential taxes will change depending on change in the assessed value of the property. If the assessment decreased by more than 4.10% taxes will decrease. If the assessed value of the property decreased by less than 4.10% or the value increased taxes will increase. Assessment changes occur as the result of additions to the property or changes in the market value of the property.

Subdivision
The assessed value of your property reflects the status of the parcel as of December 31, 2010. If your parcel has been, or will be, subdivided in 2011, the newly created parcel(s) will not be assessed or taxed separately until the tax year 2012. It is the policy of the MD to apply the 2011 levy to the parcel that has the improvements or, if vacant, to the "parent" parcel. Please contact the Tax Department if you require a separation of the taxes for sale purposes.
