How do I calculate my taxes?
To calculate the amount of your taxes, first multiply the total appraised value by the properties classification (see chart below), then divide by 100, then multiply by the tax rate. Using a $50,000 appraised value as an example:
$50,000 X 25% (Residential) = $12,500 Assessed Value
then $12,500/100=125
then $2.88 X 125 = $392.50
The assessed value of property is a percentage of the total appraisal. The percentage used above is based on the use of the property:
Residential - 25%
Commercial - 40%
Industrial - 40%
Personal - 30%
Farm - 25%
Public Utilities - 55%
