Common Property Tax Terms

A few key terms make property tax estimates easier to understand.

Effective Property Tax Rate

The average tax rate paid as a percentage of property value. This calculator estimates it from ACS data by dividing aggregate real estate taxes paid by aggregate owner-occupied housing value.

Annual Property Tax

The estimated amount a homeowner pays in property taxes over one year. It is calculated by multiplying the property value by the effective property tax rate.

Monthly Property Tax

The annual property tax divided by 12. Mortgage lenders often include this amount in an escrow portion of the monthly payment.

Assessed Value

The value assigned to a property by a local assessor for tax purposes. It may differ from market value or purchase price.

Tax District

A local taxing area that may include county, city, school, and special district taxes. Different districts can create different tax bills within the same county.

Exemption

A reduction in taxable value or tax owed, often available for homestead, senior, veteran, disability, or other qualifying property owners.
