Staff Support - Finance
The Finance Department is responsible for a number of staff support services such as financial accounting, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, employer insurance programs and management of central information systems.

Ambulance - Will the City file my ambulance bill with my insurance company?
If you have insurance you are urged to call the finance department to make sure your insurance information is on record. The City will submit a claim to your insurance company. However, if an insurance company doesn't pay within 30 days of the invoice date, it is the patient's responsibility to make sure the invoice is paid on time.

Ambulance - Will the City file my Medicare claim?
The City will file Medicare Part B, Medical Assistance, and all third party insurance claims for our ambulance service.

Assessment - How many tax parcels are in the City?
For tax year 2009 there were 5,685 residential, 438 commercial, 79 manufacturing and 13 agricultural parcels for a total of 6,215 parcels.

Assessment - What if I'd like my property assessment value reviewed?
The City's contracted Assessor places the assessment value on the property. If, after talking with the Assessor, you do not agree with the assessed value, your next step is to complete an "Objection Form." This form must be filed before you appear at the Board of Review meeting. The meeting is usually scheduled during the month of May (call the City Assessor or the Clerk/Treasurer, 766-6300, for additional information).

Assessment - What is the City's assessment ratio?
The City's assessment ratio for 2010 is 99.56%. A revaluation of all property parcels in the city was completed in 2009.

Assessment - What is the City's tax rate?
The City's 2010 assessed tax rate (the rate which is multiplied by the assessed value to determine taxes owed) is $22.25285. The City's equalized tax rate (the rate which should be used for comparison with other communities) is $22.13874.
