Bill owns a home that he purchased for $1 million. The town that Bill lives in assesses the properties in their town at 65% of their value. The millage rate for the town is $15 per 1000. How much does Bill owe annually for real estate taxes?
Bill's home is assessed at 65% of its value (1,000,000 x 65% = $650,000). As the millage rate is $15 for every thousand, you would then divide that amount by $1000 and multiply by $15 ($650,000 / 1,000 = 650 x $15 = $9,750). The annual tax bill is $9,750.
