About Property Taxes in Nebraska
Nebraska property taxes are administered at the county level. All property is assessed at 100% of actual value (market value) as of January 1 each year. Nebraska conducts annual assessments, with values updated each year. Property taxes in Nebraska are among the higher burden states in the Midwest, as the state relies heavily on property taxes to fund schools and local government. Tax bills are mailed in the fall and are payable in two installments.
Payment & Assessment
Nebraska property taxes are paid in two equal installments: First half: Due April 1 (delinquent after May 1) Second half: Due August 1 (delinquent after September 1) A 14% annual interest rate applies to delinquent taxes. Most counties offer online payment. Contact your county treasurer for payment options.
