What determines my tax bill?

Your property tax bill is made up of two parts - the assessed value and the tax rate set each year by elected county and municipal officials. They are multiplied to get the dollar amount owed. For example, if a house has an assessed value of $300,000 and the county tax rate is 65.70 cents per $100 of value, the county tax amount would be $1,971.00 ($300,000 x .00657).
