Property tax refers to the ad valorem tax imposed on real estate and personal property by government entities at various levels, such as county, municipal, or school district. This tax is calculated based on the assessed value of the property and is typically levied annually. Property taxes serve as a primary source of revenue for local governments, funding public services like schools, roads, and emergency services.

Businesses, just like individual property owners, are subject to property tax obligations, which must be carefully managed within the context of overall financial strategy.
