For those who are unsure about how to check their property tax cap status, Johnson said homeowners should visit the county treasurer’s website. She said they may have realized they had not informed the assessor’s office that their home is a primary residence. “The only way that is going to change is if the property owner does something to the titling of their parcel, meaning they added a spouse, removed a spouse, they put it in a trust."

Tax caps have been in place since the 2005 - 2006 fiscal year and have always been up to 3 percent for primary residences or up to 8 percent for other property types. During a press conference, County Assessor Briana Johnson said property tax increases are capped yearly at 3 percent for primary residences and 8 percent for other property types such as commercial real estate or investment properties.
