Explanation / Answer
Answer :
(1) : Assessed Value = Market Value x 35% =
= $125,000 x 35%
= $43,750 .
Current Real Estate Tax = (Assessed Value-Homestead Exemption) x Millage Rate/1000
= ($43,750-25,000)*70/1000
= $1312.50
(2) :
(A) : Source of Proposed Levy is the laws, rates and strategies of Calculation proposed by Department of Taxation, Ohio .
(B) : According to the source, the millage rates in each country of the state can be Different. Further, the actual residential tax value is 35% of the taxable value . So if we take the instance of Harrison .County of Ohio State, at that point the property taxes will be low as underneath:
Assessed Value = Market Value x 35%
= $125,000 x 35%
= $43,750
Current Real Estate Tax = (Assessed Value-Homestead Exemption) x Millage Rate/1000
= ($43,750-25,000) x 60/1000
= $1,125
The property tax rate is very low, due to Millage rate being low. Harrison County has been given the status of special tax county .
(C) :
Impact on Property Taxes = Tax calculated under A- tax calculated under B
= $1,312.50 - 1,125
= $187.50
(D) :
Impact in terms of tax rates will be as below -
= Average Tax Rate in A - Average Tax Rate in B
= 1,312.50 - 1,125 /1,25,000
=0.0015 * 100
= 0.15 %
