Property Tax Calculation
In New York State, the real property tax is a tax based on the value of real property. Counties, cities, towns, villages, school districts, and special districts each raise money through the real property tax. The money funds schools, pays for police and fire protection, maintains roads, and funds other municipal services enjoyed by residents.
Market value is determined by the Department of Taxation and Finance and reflects the amount of money a buyer would be willing to pay a seller for property offered for sale on an open market, over a reasonable amount of time, where both the buyer and seller are well informed and neither is under undue pressure to act.

Exemptions
Washington County offers several exemptions that qualified homeowners can apply for, such as Veterans, Senior Citizen, Cold War Veterans, Volunteer Firefighters and Ambulance Workers, Limited Income Disability, or Home Improvement exemptions. Also, New York State School Tax Relief Program (STAR) provides homeowners who earn less than $500,000 and own and live in their home with two types of partial exemptions from school property taxes.
Our information indicates that thist property does not benefit from any exemptions, therefore the taxable value is equal to the assessed value.
Property tax is calculated by multiplying the assessed value with the corresponding rate per 1000 of full value.
The NYS Office of the State Comptroller(OSC) calculates:
- a full value (FV) county tax rate by dividing the county tax levy (county general tax levy plus county district levies, with adjustments) by the total full taxable value (for county purposes) per $1000 full valuation;
- a full value (FV) municipal tax rate by dividing the total municipal levy (general town and highway levy, plus fire protection and other dependent special district levies) by the total full taxable value (for municipal purposes) per $1000 full valuation;
- a full value (FV) school tax rate by dividing the school tax levy (school general levy plus library levy) by the total full taxable value (for school purposes) per $1000 full valuation.
| Tax description | Assessed value | Tax rate | Tax amount | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Washington County | $125,000 | x | 5.6700 | = | $708.75 |
| Town of Whitehall | $125,000 | x | 3.9400 | = | $492.50 |
| Whitehall School District | $125,000 | x | 8.3000 | = | $1,037.50 |
| Property tax | $125,000 | x | 17.9100 | = | $2,239 |
