Polk County Tax Collector

Property taxes consist of ad valorem taxes and non-ad valorem assessments, which are collected yearly on real estate and tangible personal properties. Real estate includes all land-related structures and improvements. Annual ad valorem taxes are assessed based on the value of real estate and tangible personal property. Real estate also receives non-ad valorem assessments for necessary services like fire suppression and trash removal. The Polk Tax Collector is responsible for collecting both ad valorem taxes and non-ad valorem assessments in Polk County.
