This is a question we hear frequently. Use the property tax calculator above to review: 1) the estimated amount of your property taxes and 2) the amount of excess property taxes you are paying.

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. Use the calculator to estimate your annual property taxes.

How Do I Calculate What I Owe In Property Taxes?

Calculating is complicated and varies within a state and even varies within a metropolitan area. Many states have different property tax rate calculations for commercial and residential. The assessment ratio for property taxes is the portion of the market value to which the tax rate is applied. In Colorado, the assessment ratio for houses is 8.5%. A home worth $200,000 in Colorado is assessed based on a value of $17,000 (=$200,000 x 0.085). The Colorado assessment ratio is 29% for commercial and 85% for oil and gas leaseholds. The assessment rates in Cook County Illinois (home to Chicago) vary from assessment rates in other parts of Illinois. Tax policy also varies in New York for New York City versus the balance of the state.
