Why did property taxes increase at Lake Martin? Are you wondering about potential property tax increases at the lake?

Let’s explore Lake Martin’s property tax increase. I can’t control property taxes (and I don’t think I would want to) but I can help you understand a little more about why they might change year to year.

I’m John Coley with Lake Martin Voice Realty, and in this video, I delve into two primary reasons why your Lake Martin property taxes might have gone up. Despite flat property values in the current year, property tax assessments in Alabama are based on the previous year’s values. This means that even if property values remained stable, your taxes could still increase if property values rose in the prior year. Understanding this aspect of property tax assessments is essential for homeowners at Lake Martin.

Secondly, changes in county ratings, particularly in counties like Elmore County, can impact property taxes. The state’s adjustments to ratings directly affect property values, which in turn influence tax assessments. For instance, if the cost to replace structures such as docks has increased, it could lead to a higher property tax assessment.
