How is Property Tax Calculated?

Property tax is an ad valorem tax, meaning it is based on the value of the asset. Local governments use these funds to pay for public services like schools, roads, fire departments, and police. To understand your bill, you need to know three primary figures:

1. Market Value: What your home would likely sell for on the open market.
2. Assessment Ratio: A percentage applied to the market value to determine the "assessed value." While many districts use 100%, some may only assess property at 40% or 60% of its value.
3. Tax Rate (Millage): The rate at which you are taxed. This is often expressed as a percentage or in "mills" (one mill equals $1 per $1,000 of assessed value).

What are Exemptions?

Exemptions, such as the Homestead Exemption, are subtracted from your assessed value before the tax rate is applied. These are designed to provide tax relief for primary residences, seniors, veterans, or people with disabilities. Always check with your local tax assessor to see which exemptions you qualify for, as they can save you thousands of dollars annually.

Example Property Tax Calculation

Let's say you own a home worth $400,000 in an area with a 1.5% tax rate. Your county uses a 100% assessment ratio and offers a $25,000 homestead exemption.

• Assessed Value: $400,000 × 1.00 = $400,000
• Taxable Value: $400,000 – $25,000 (Exemption) = $375,000
• Annual Tax: $375,000 × 0.015 = $5,625
• Monthly Cost: $5,625 / 12 = $468.75

Why Do Property Taxes Change?

Your property tax bill can increase for two reasons: either the local government raises the tax rate (millage), or the market value of your property increases during a reassessment. Conversely, if property values in your area drop, you may be eligible to appeal your assessment to lower your tax burden.
