Estimate your annual property taxes based on home value and local tax rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between assessed value and market value?
Assessed value is what a property is valued at for tax purposes (often lower than market value). Market value is what the property would sell for. Assessors use sales data to estimate assessed value.
What are property tax exemptions?
Exemptions reduce your taxable value. Common ones include homestead exemptions, senior exemptions, disability exemptions, and agricultural exemptions. Eligibility varies by state and local jurisdiction.
How often does assessed value change?
Assessed values are typically reviewed annually or every few years. Some states reassess after property sales. If you believe your assessment is too high, you can file an appeal in most jurisdictions.
Can property taxes increase?
Yes, property taxes can increase when: (1) assessed value increases due to home improvements or market changes, (2) tax rates increase, or (3) you lose an exemption. Some states cap annual increases.
Is property tax deductible?
Yes, property taxes are deductible on your federal tax return (up to $10,000 combined with state and local taxes). You must itemize deductions rather than taking the standard deduction.
