Property Tax Estimator

This tool provides an estimated property tax amount based on information available in the Lucas County Auditor’s AREIS system and the Treasurer’s published tax rates.

By entering your property’s assessed value (35%), selecting your tax district, and confirming whether the property is owner-occupied, you can see an estimated half-year and annual property tax amount.

This estimator is for informational purposes only. Actual tax bills may vary based on levy eligibility, exemptions, credits, and Auditor adjustments. The official tax bill issued by the Lucas County Treasurer controls.

Tip: You can paste numbers with commas. We’ll format with commas automatically.
District list and effective millage are from the Treasurer’s Notice.
Annual special assessments are estimated as 2× the half-year total.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

What does this estimator do? ▾
This tool provides an estimate of your property taxes using:
  • Your Assessed Value (35%) from the Auditor’s AREIS system, and
  • The effective millage rates published in the Treasurer’s annual notice.
It shows both an estimated half-year amount and an estimated annual amount.
Where do I find my Assessed Value (35%)? ▾
In AREIS:
Summary → Values → 35% Values → Total
Enter the 35% Total (example: 108,120).
What is a Tax District, and where do I find mine? ▾
A Tax District is the set of local taxing jurisdictions that apply to your property (schools, township/city, etc.).
In AREIS, your Tax District appears on the Summary page.
Choose the matching district from the dropdown in this estimator.
Why is this an estimate and not an exact bill? ▾
Actual bills can vary because of factors that may not be captured in a simple estimator, including:
  • levy eligibility and credit eligibility,
  • exemptions (such as Homestead),
  • Auditor adjustments,
  • special assessment schedules,
  • rounding and line-by-line levy calculations.
The official tax bill issued by the Lucas County Treasurer is the controlling document.
What is the “Non-business” credit? ▾
Most owner/residential properties may qualify for a non-business credit. If your property is a business, rental, or other non-residential use, check “Business / Rental / Non-Residential Property?”—this turns off the estimated non-business credit.
What is the “Owner-occupied” credit? ▾
Owner-occupied properties may qualify for an owner-occupied credit. If you live in the home as your primary residence, leave “Owner-occupied?” checked.
Credits shown here are estimates and can vary by levy and parcel.
How do I enter Special Assessments? ▾
Special Assessments can be found in AREIS:
Special Assessments → Total → Half
Enter the Half total. This estimator assumes the annual amount is approximately 2× the half-year amount.
Why does my bill show different numbers than the estimator? ▾
Common reasons include:
  • changes in credits/exemptions,
  • escrow timing or lender adjustments,
  • delinquency or prior-year balances,
  • special assessments that don’t split evenly,
  • line-by-line levy rounding.
Who do I contact if I have questions about my bill? ▾
For questions about your tax bill, payment status, or due dates, contact the Lucas County Treasurer’s Office. For questions about assessed value, ownership, or property details, contact the Lucas County Auditor’s Office.
