Taxes on Average Residence

First, the taxable value of the home is determined:

Appraised Value $ 133,775
State Exemption -15,000
Taxable Value $118,775

The taxable value is then used to calculate the school taxes on this home:

Tax Rate per $100/valuation $1.2533
$100/valuation of $120,810 taxable value on "average" home X 1,187.75
Total School Taxes for 2009 $1,488.61

The School Taxes on the comparable home a year ago would have been $1,488.61(actual)

Tax levy decrease for this home between 2008-09 and 2009-10 is $0.00.
