Well, to be honest I really don't understand the question. :confused3:
I'm assuming the OP means property taxes. An annual rent you pay for the privilege of 'owning'.
Here in the US, it's one of the primary sources of tax revenue for local governments.
In my location, the property is appraised (done every 10 years), and has a Land value and Improvement (any structures/roads/etc) value.
In my case, looking at my2016 tax notice which I need to pay in the next month, 71.4 acres has value of $84,500. That is way off what it really would bring, since I just sold 27 adjoining, similar laying acres for 165k a few months ago, but traditionally, tax appraisals are extremely conservative.
The Improvement value is listed at $129,000....again, way off...my shop alone would cost that to replace, the house, probably closer to 300k, plus a dozen outbuildings/barns.
But anyway, the total comes up $213,000. Then they 'assess' it a 25% for residential (40% business), so that comes to $53,375, and apply the tax rate of $2.38/1000, bringing my annual 'rent' to $1270.22
That is a 20% increase over last year.....our elected county commission went nuts this past year, and no doubt most of the "tax and spent" crowd will be replaced in the next election.
