Notice of 2019 Tax Year
2019 Property Tax Rates in El Paso County E.S.D. # 2
This notice concerns the 2019 property tax rates for El Paso County Emergency Services District # 2. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year's tax rate is the actual tax rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This years effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compared properties taxed in both years. This year's rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers start rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.
