Appraised Value x Assessment Ratio= Assessed Value

Assessed Value x Millage rate = Taxes Due 

• Example of a House valued at $50,000 receiving the 4% assessment ratio.
• $50,000 x 4%=$2,000 Assessed value X .250 Millage rate =$500 Taxes due.
• PLEASE NOTE: THE MILLAGE RATE USED IN THE EQUATION IS JUST AN EXAMPLE. THE ACTUAL MILLAGE RATE WILL VARY FROM YEAR TO YEAR.
