Table PD-30 shows total assessed value of, and taxes levied
on, real, public utility personal, and tangible personal
property for taxes payable in calendar year 2002. Taxes for
real and public utility personal property were levied in tax
year 2001, but payable in calendar year 2002. Special
assessments were also levied in tax year 2001 and payable in
calendar year 2002. In contrast, tangible personal property
taxes (excluding public utility personal property) were
levied and payable in the same year - in this case 2002.
Total statewide taxes levied on these three categories of
property were $11.7 billion on a total assessed value of
$207.0 billion. Total real property taxes were $9.2 billion,
while public utility personal property and tangible personal
property taxes totalled $0.7 billion and $1.8 billion,
respectively. Special assessments totalled $230.5 million.
The total value of real property was approximately $174.0
billion compared to $9.7 billion and $23.3 billion for public
utility personal and tangible personal property,
respectively.
Real property taxes shown in the table are after application
of "tax reduction factors" and are prior to subtracting the
10 percent property tax rollback for all real property, the
2.5 percent rollback for residential real property, and the
homestead exemption deduction.
