The Polk County tax rate is now set at $0.6300 per $100 of valuation after commissioners approved it during their regular meeting Tuesday. The vote finalizes the rate that will be applied to property in the county for the coming year.
County tax rates fund services such as roads, law enforcement, and county administration. Property owners can estimate their county tax by applying the rate to their taxable value, though total bills also include amounts set by cities, school districts, and other taxing entities.
Residents with questions about how the rate affects their property can contact the Polk County tax office or attend upcoming commissioners court meetings.
