Property Taxes



Besides principle and interest, your monthly payments will include property taxes.  An easy way to calculate your annual and monthly taxes is:

1.  Add county and city rates together.
2.  Multiply the above rate by the market value (estimated appraisal value).
3.  Divide the figure from step 2 by 100.  This equals your annual property taxes.
4.  Divide your annual property taxes by 12...this will equal your monthly taxes.

Below are two examples:

Example #1:

County:  Mecklenburg...Tax Rate is 0.8368

City:  Charlotte...Tax Rate is 0.42          

Appraised Value of Home...$175,000

Step 1.  0.8368 + 0.42 =  1.2568
Step 2.  1.2568 x $175,000 = $219,940
Step 3.  $202,370 ÷ 100 = $2,199.40 annual taxes
Step 4.  $2,023.70 ÷ 12 = $183.28 monthly taxes 


Example #2:

County:  Union...Tax Rate is 0.53

City:  Indian Trail...Tax Rate is 0.08

Appraised Value of Home...$175,000
Step 1.  0.53 + 0.08 = 0.61
Step 2.  0.61 x $175,000 = $106,750 
Step 3.  $106,750 ÷ 100 = $1,067.50 annual taxes 
Step 4.  $1,067.50 ÷ 12 = $88.96 monthly taxes 
 
From the examples above, you can see that there can be a significant difference in your property taxes depending upon which county and/or city you live in.
