Understanding Property Tax

What is a millage rate?

A millage rate (also called a mill rate) is how your local council works out your tax bill. One mill equals $1 of tax for every $1,000 of assessed value. So a millage rate of 25 means you pay $25 per $1,000 of assessed value. Your local government sets this rate each year to fund things like schools, roads, and emergency services.

How is assessed value different from market value?

Market value is what your home would sell for on the open market. Assessed value is the amount your local tax office uses to work out your tax. In most states, the assessed value is lower than market value. For example, if your home is worth $400,000 and the assessment ratio is 85%, your assessed value would be $340,000. The tax is then based on that lower figure.

What property tax exemptions are available?

Many states offer exemptions that lower your tax bill. Common ones include the homestead exemption (for your main home), senior citizen exemptions, disability exemptions, and veteran exemptions. Some states also cap how much your assessed value can rise each year. Check with your county assessor to see which exemptions you qualify for.
