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 2003. Taxes for
real and public utility personal property were levied in tax
year 2002, but payable in calendar year 2003. Special
assessments were also levied in tax year 2002 and payable in
calendar year 2003. In contrast, tangible personal property
taxes (excluding public utility personal property) were
levied and payable in the same year - in this case 2003.
Total statewide taxes levied on these three categories of
property were $12.2 billion on a total assessed value of
$218.3 billion. Total real property taxes were $9.8 billion,
while public utility personal property and tangible personal
property taxes totaled $0.7 billion and $1.6 billion,
respectively. Special assessments totaled $248.4 million.

billion, respectively.
