Frequently asked questions
How is property tax calculated?
Your local government multiplies the assessed value of your home (after exemptions) by the tax rate set by the county, city and school district. This calculator uses each state's average effective rate as a starting point.
Why is my bill different from the state average?
Rates vary a lot between counties and even school districts in the same state, and assessed value is often not the market value. Replace the rate with the one on your tax bill or your county's website.
What is a homestead exemption?
Many states reduce the taxable value of your main home, by a fixed amount or a percentage. Enter it in the exemption field.
