What is Taxable Value?

Taxable value refers to a percentage of the assessor's appraisal according to a state-prescribed formula, after any exemptions are removed.

• An assessment ratio of 50% is multiplied by the assessor's appraisal to get assessed value.
• Then, the assessed value is multiplied by 9% for residential and 10% for all other property classes to get taxable value.
• Therefore, the taxable value of residential property is 4.5% of the assessor's estimate of value; for commercial and agricultural property, it is 5% of the assessor's value.
• To calculate annual taxes for a property, the taxable value is multiplied by the mill levy.
