Whats you tax rate at your residence?

Andy, you just don't realize how lucky you are. In Texas, some county appraisal districts re-appraise property values every 2 years, while the county I live in does it annually. I think state law requires 100% appraisals, although the appraiser's guesstimates ain't always too accurate; sometimes way low and sometimes way high. Then the different taxing authorities my grant "exemptions" (senior, disability, etc.). And in some areas, the senior exemption for schools "freezes" your actual tax, as in my case. So, while city and county taxes continue to increase, our school taxes stay the same every year. But if or when the property is sold, the new owner will definitely be paying higher school taxes.

Currently our little city home is appraised at the land's market value (city lot) of $41,063 and the "improvement value" (house) at $114,053, so with a total appraised value of $155,116, the school tax of $1,179.21, city tax of $787.26, and county tax of $249.11, I just paid the property tax of $2,215.58.

Deep in the heart of Taxes.

I don't really understand how our property taxes work, I'm sure I could figure it out but what's the point it seems. Anyhow, we have a 1200 sq ft house and our property taxes are about $4,800 a year. I have neighbours with a big 4600 sq ft house and their taxes are over $9,000. My elderly neighbors sold last year because between taxes and electricity they couldn't make it any longer on their fixed retirement income.

This is our township tax rate schedule.

Near time to start shooting politicians when it comes to that. We did that couple centuries back, about time to do it again. Most politicians never saw a govt program they didn't love to spend money on.

When I sprayed chloride in Brock, the foreman told me that taxes were high. I didn't think they were 'that' high!
Don't forget, IF you live in Beaverton or Sunderland then you are paying for water and sewer as well as all the paved roads. Not to mention Hwy 12, Hwy 47, Hwy 48 and Lake Ridge Road (23). These all have to be maintained and the union guys at the Township aren't going to work for free.

My house is valued at around 145k and runs $750 per year. The farm is 100 acres, has a tax value of 550k, but since it is in a farm classification we get a reduction in the rate. I believe that the tax is around $300 per year on it.

Anne Arundel county Md $0.915 maryland state $0.112 total $1.027 this is per $100 of value

Plus trash collection

This year it was just under 1.7% of assessed value in Oakland California.

Water, Sewer, Trash, etc. are all extra...

In NH we are paying 2.4% of appraised value per year.

Holy crap! I must be doing something wrong. My property taxes are about $6500/year. We own two adjacent lots for a total of just shy of 7 acres. The main property is appraised at $217K and the adjacent lot is appraised at $90K. I don't claim ag exemption, but every year when I have to choke down the tax bill, I consider it. I just don't need the added hassle of filing and maintaining the exempt tax status. because I was recently annexed by the city, I'd have to prove that I meet the Ag status each year.

Tax rate is:
City 0.0683340
School 1.54000
Water 0.04
County .248409

In Toronto it's about 1% of appraised value.
