How
are my property taxes calculated?
Market Value x Assessment
Ratio = Assessment x Milage = Property Taxes
Example: $85,000 x .04 = 3,400 x .145 = $493.00
$85,000 x .06 = 5,100 x .145 = $739.50
Homestead Exemption status is also available
for qualified applicants. Qualifications are:
1. 65 years or older
2. declared totally or permanently disabled
3. legally blind
Homestead Exemption status
allows individual home owners to deduct the allowable amount per State
Law from the Market Value of Property each year. Home exemption amount
is $50,000.
Example: Market Value – Home Exemption x Assessment Ratio = Assessment
x Mileage = Property Tax.
$85,000 - $50,000 = $35,000 x .04 = $1,400 x .145 = $203
