Taxes
Residential Property Tax Rates:
Residential Property Tax is assessed at 19% of fair or true market value.
For example, property is assessed at $100,000 x 19% = $19,000 then $19,000 divided by $100 = $190 then $190 x $6.59 = $1,252.10 taxes owed.
Assessed Value
Assessed value is a percentage of the market value as determined by the assessor's office. In order to calculate the assessed value, multiply the market value (or appraised value) by the appropriate assessment rate for the type of property.
