Rich County residents, please take note: The current 2025 Valuation Notices have been mailed.
There wasn’t an increase in property tax to the school. The legislature mandated that counties break out the 2025 taxes and in the process, the 2024 taxes were inadvertently left off for some of the school’s taxes.
If you will look at your 2024 taxes, you can see the discrepancy. Mine for instance only shows $632.00 for 2024 and $1064.00 for 2025. In reality in 2024 taxes were about the same as 2025. This was just an error.
Anyone can go to https://search.richcounty.gov/PropertyTaxSearch.aspx and search Property Tax Information with their parcel number and choose 2024 to show what you were taxed in 2024.

The real problem lies not with the county, but rather with the state mandating that second homes be taxed at 100% of the valuation. This policy fails to recognize that second homeowners cannot present opposition to increased taxation. In my opinion, that is just not fair. It clearly causes the rates and tax proposals to be voted on without the input of residents- taxation without representation! Bear in mind, not all second home owners are wealthy! I have owned a modest 800 sq foot cabin for forty years and we will die still owning the property. That is if the taxes don't force us to sell! Retired people should not be taxed on their property - that simple!
