Taxes on Average Residence

First, the taxable value of the home is determined:

Appraised Value $ 135,810
State Exemption -15000
Taxable Value $120,810

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 1,208.10
Total School Taxes for 2007 $1,514.11

The School Taxes on the comparable home a year ago would have been $1,828.16(actual)

Tax levy decrease for this home between 2006-07 and 2007-08 is $314.05
