What is the 1st Dollar Credit?

The 1st Dollar Credit is a credit on your property tax bill for any real estate parcel on which at least one improvement by the land owner is located. The credit should be automatically applied to all qualifying properties. This value is calculated every year by the Department of Revenue after considering the projected number of claims and school property tax rates (for K-8, Union High, and K-12 school districts).


The credit on the 2023 property tax bills for eligible parcels is $88.74. For taxpayers who pay their taxes in 2 or more installments, the credit is applied equally to each installment.
