How this estimate works

We subtract the standard and supplemental homestead deductions for your chosen year, or apply the deduction for other residential property. The remaining taxable value is divided by 100 and multiplied by the rate. Voter-approved referendum taxes are outside the usual property-tax caps and are excluded from the 10% supplemental homestead credit.

The calculation supports ordinary residential real property. It does not include farm or business property, mixed-use parcels, special deductions, or separately assessed mobile or manufactured homes. Your entries stay in your browser.
