A homestead property is located outside the city limits in Pasco County, FL. The assessment value of the property is $190,000.00. The city tax rate is 7.8 mills, the county tax rate is 9.8 mills, and the school board's rate is 5.7 mills. The owner is an army veteran with 10% disability as a result of his service in Iraq. He is also a widower and has qualified and received homestead tax exemption. How much does the owner have to pay for property taxes?
a. $1,318.10
To calculate the property taxes, you take the following steps: 1. You should remember that the school board only recognizes the base exemption of $25,000.00. City and County, on the contrary, recognize the entitlement of the owner to an additional $25,000 exemption when the property's assessed value is greater than $75,000.00. 2. Figure out Taxable Value for School Taxes $190,000 assessed value - $25,000 base homestead exemption - $5,000 additional exemption for service disability - $500 widower exemption = $ 159,500.00 taxable value for school taxes. 3. Figure out Taxable Value for County Taxes $190,000 assessed value - $50,000 homestead exemption - $5,000 additional exemption for service disability - $500 widower exemption = $134,500 taxable value for county taxes. 4. Figure out Tax Due $ 159, 500.00 x .0057 = $ 909.15 school taxes $ 134, 500.00 x .0098 = $ 1,318.10 county taxes City taxes do not apply because the property is out of city limits. $909.15 + $1,318.10 = $2,227.25
