How Property Tax Works
Property tax is a local tax on real estate that is usually based on the value of the property (including the land). These taxes pay for local services like schools, police, fire departments, and road maintenance.
Key Components
- Market Value: The estimated price your home would sell for on the open market.
- Assessed Value: The value placed on your property by a local government assessor for tax purposes. This is often a percentage of the market value.
- Mill Rate: A common way tax rates are expressed. One "mill" is $1 of tax for every $1,000 of assessed value. (e.g., 12 mills = 1.2%).
- Exemptions: Many areas offer tax breaks for primary residences (Homestead), seniors, veterans, or people with disabilities.
