How do I calculate the property taxes on my property?

Example: If the appraised value of your home is $50,000;
(find your value here)

 First, Multiply the appraised value by the "assessment %" for your property. (see below).
    appraised value         assessment rate     assessed value
            50,000     x                .115  (11.5%)             =     $5,750

Second, Multiply the assessed value by your "mill levy"
and then divide by 1,000 to estimate the property tax you owe.

   5,750 x (.152937) **  = $879.39
   assessed value mill levy by tax bill

**Contact your county clerk to find out what your current mill levy is.
