GENERAL FORMULA & EXAMPLE
Fair Classification Assessed Tax Gross Homestead Net
Market Value X Assessment Ratio (%)* = Value X Levy (Millage Rate)** = Tax – Homestead Exemption = Tax
$50,000 X 10% = $5,000 X .0275 = $137.50 – $45.00 = $93.50
(The Formula Above Does Not Apply To Farm Or Forest Lands Receiving Benefit Of “Current Use” Values).
