Frequently Asked Questions

What is property tax?
Property tax is a tax paid on real estate based on the property's assessed value. It's typically collected by local governments to fund schools, roads, police, and other public services.
What is a mill rate?
A mill rate is the tax rate per $1,000 of assessed property value. One mill equals $1 of tax per $1,000 of assessed value. For example, a 12.5 mill rate means $12.50 per $1,000 of assessed value.
What is homestead exemption?
A homestead exemption reduces the taxable value of a primary residence, lowering property taxes. The amount varies by state, typically ranging from $25,000 to $75,000 off assessed value.
How often are property taxes paid?
Property taxes are typically paid annually, semi-annually, or quarterly depending on your location. Most lenders collect property taxes monthly through escrow accounts.
Can I deduct property taxes?
Yes, state and local property taxes are deductible on federal income tax returns, subject to the $10,000 SALT deduction limit ($5,000 if married filing separately).
How is assessed value determined?
Assessed value is determined by local assessors based on property characteristics, recent sales, and market conditions. It may be a percentage of market value (assessment ratio).
