FAQ

What is an assessment ratio?

The assessment ratio is the percentage of your home's market value that your local tax authority uses to determine the assessed value for tax purposes. For example, an 80% assessment ratio on a $500,000 home means the assessed value is $400,000.

How do I find my current property tax rate?

Your property tax rate is usually listed on your annual property tax bill or your county assessor's website. It is often expressed as a percentage of assessed value (e.g., 1.2%).

Can this tool predict my exact future tax bill?

This simulator provides estimates based on the inputs you provide. Actual tax bills may vary due to exemptions, local levies, and other factors. Use it as a planning guide, not a guarantee.

What if my home value goes up but the tax rate goes down?

This is exactly what the simulator is designed for. It shows whether the net effect is an increase or decrease in your property tax bill by combining both changes.
