About Property Taxes

Property taxes are paid by homeowners to local governments (counties, cities, school districts) to fund public services like schools, police, fire departments, and road maintenance.

How it is Calculated

Property tax is generally calculated by multiplying the assessed value of your property by the tax rate (often expressed in "mills").

  • Assessed Value: The dollar value assigned to your home by a public tax assessor. This may differ from the fair market value.
  • Tax Rate: The percentage of value you pay in taxes. The national average is around 1.1%, but it varies widely by state and county.
