If your property is newly built and was completed/occupied during the current year, you will receive a supplementary assessment and taxation notice.
Property taxes are calculated by prorating the supplementary assessment based on the number of months the building has been completed/occupied during the year. This prorated assessment is then multiplied by the applicable tax rate.
If construction is completed after Dec. 31, you will receive a supplementary assessment and tax notice in the current year to reflect the increased value of the property.
Scenario:
The supplementary assessment is based on typical market values as of July 1, of the previous year.

When the increased value of new homes have been determined, an additional supplementary assessment and tax notice will be sent to the property owner indicating the additional taxes owed for the year.
Supplementary taxes are levied only in the year the newly constructed building is completed and/or occupied. Supplementary notices are sent out at the end of September. Property owners are required to pay the supplementary tax in full within 30 days of mailing.
