To calculate the tax on your property, assume you have a house with an APPRAISED VALUE of $200,000. The ASSESSED VALUE is $50,000 (25% of $200,000), and the TAX RATE has been set by your county commission at $2.262 per hundred of assessed value. To figure the tax simply multiply the assessed value ($50,000) by the tax rate (2.262 per hundred dollars assessed).
$50,000 / 100 = 250 x $2.262 = $1,131.00 (rounded)
or
($25,000 x .02262 = $1,131.00)
for a tax bill of $1,131.00
