What does that tax rate calculation mean to me? • The tax rate is based on average assessed property values. The average assessed property values have increased $1,101,424 or 0.40% and the tax levy has decreased($96,038) or (4.62%) resulting in a tax saving per household. • Example: 2012 House Value (Tax Assessment): $100,000 • 2013 Home Value (Tax Assessment): $104,000 (.40% increase) • 2012 Tax Rate of 0.83 per $100 of assessed Values • 2013 Tax Rate of 0.79 per $100 of assessed Values So • 2012 Property Tax Dollar Amount: $830.00 ($100K @ $0.83 rate) • 2013 Property Tax Dollar Amount: $821.60 ($104,000 $0.79 rate) • Actual Dollar Decrease: $8.40, or 1.01%
