Property Tax
Property tax is calculated by multiplying the assessed value with the corresponding millage rate and is an estimate of what an owner not benefiting from tax exemptions would pay. The rates are expressed as millages (i.e the actual rates multiplied by 1000).
A property owner may qualify for several different types of credits such as lottery credit, school credit, first dollar credit that may lower the property's tax bill. In addition, special assessments and charges might be applied to the property tax bill. Unfortunately, we have no information about these amounts.
