What Are Property Taxes?
Property taxes are a fee the local government
charges owners of real estate. Unlike a
mortgage, property taxes are never paid fully.
The government wants more of your money every
year, year after year. The more real estate you
own, the more property taxes you pay. The higher
the value of your home, the more property taxes
you pay.

Calculating Property Taxes
Property taxes Market Value of real estate x
Assessment ratio x Tax rate. The above simplifies
the tax rate calculation by not including
exemptions. Many states have an exemption for
homesteads ( primary residence owned and
occupied).
A more precise summary of property tax
calculations is Property taxes ((Market value
of real estate x Assessment rate) Exemption) x
Tax rate

How Much Is Too Much?
Paying property taxes above the minimum required
by law is too much. You can spend your money
better than the government, right. You have two
primary tools to reduce property taxes Homestead
exemptions for your house, and Property tax
