Understanding Property Taxes
How Property Tax is Calculated
Property tax = (Market Value x Assessment Ratio - Exemptions) x Tax Rate + Special Assessments
Assessment Ratio
Many jurisdictions only tax a percentage of fair market value. This varies widely by location, from 10% to 100% of market value.
Common Exemptions
- Homestead exemption for primary residence
- Senior citizen exemptions (age 65+)
- Veteran/military exemptions
- Disability exemptions
- Agricultural/conservation exemptions
Ways to Reduce Property Tax
- Apply for all eligible exemptions
- Appeal your assessment if overvalued
- Check for assessment errors
- Review comparable property assessments
