Manhattan Taxes

About Property Taxes

Property taxes are collected on the assessed valuation of taxable real and tangible property. The County Clerk provides the estimated assessed valuation used in the calculation of property taxes necessary to fund the city budget. Based upon the projected assessed valuation, the mill levy is calculated to fund ad valorem property tax revenue requirements.

About Sales Tax

Local retail sales and the sales taxes that subsequently are generated have become extremely important to the City of Manhattan as a major revenue source to operate city government.
