Non-Residential Charges & Appeals
Non-residential properties include improved property classified as commercial, industrial, nursing home, service station, utility, railroad or tax-exempt property.
Non-residential property owners are assessed by tax parcel according to the value of the improvements on the parcel. Improvement value does not include the value of the land. The non-residential categories are outlined.

Non-Residential Appeal Guidelines
For non-residential properties, an appeal may be granted under the following circumstances:
- County administrative or clerical errors.
- The property has been misclassified for the purpose of calculating the charge as of January 2, each year.
- The property is non-generating by nature, such as an electric generating substation.
- The improvement was condemned, destroyed or demolished as of January 2, each year.
- A single business with one garbage collection has been assessed on more than one contiguous parcel.
- The property owner recycles 50% of the solid waste (includes all solid waste that is disposed of and/or recycled) generated on the parcel.
- Waste generation - if the property owner demonstrates that the parcel generates less than the amount of solid waste (includes all solid waste that is disposed of and/or recycled) allocated to its category, the solid waste management charge will be reduced.
