4. How do I calculate my commercial municipal taxes?

To calculate your commercial municipal taxes for 2021, use the following formula and rates, and consult our Tip Sheet for Understanding your Tax Notice.

Step 1: Determine your total land assessment

Taxable Land Assessment + Taxable Improvement Assessment = Total Assessment

Step 2: Use the formula

• Assessment x Mill rate x Mill rate factor / 1,000 = taxes
• Taxes + Base tax + Infrastructure levy = Total commercial municipal taxes

Mill Rate – 9.0 mills
Commercial Mill Rate Factor – 2.50
Agriculture Mill Rate Factor – 0.55
Commercial Base Tax – $1,100.00
Infrastructure Levy (on all properties) – $200.00

Example

Taxable Land Assessment              = 10,000.00
Taxable Improvement Assessment = 165,000.00
Total Assessment                           = 175,000.00

Assessment x Mill rate x Mill rate factor / 1,000 = taxes

175,000 x 9.0 x 2.50/ 1,000 = 3,937.50
$3,937.50– Taxes
+$1,100.00 – Base Tax
+$   200.00 – Infrastructure Levy
=$5,237.50– Total Commercial Municipal Taxes

5. How do I calculate my residential municipal taxes?

To calculate your residential municipal taxes for 2021, use the following formula and rates, consult our Tip Sheet for Understanding your Tax Notice, or, use our simple Residential Property Tax Calculator.

Step 1: Determine your total land assessment

Taxable Land Assessment + Taxable Improvement Assessment = Total Assessment

Step 2: Use the formula

• Total Assessment x Mill rate x Residential mill rate factor / 1,000 = taxes
• Taxes + Base tax + Infrastructure levy =  Total residential municipal taxes

Mill Rate – 9.0 mills
Residential Mill Rate Factor – 0.720
Residential Base Tax – $800.00
Infrastructure Levy – $200.00

Example

Taxable Land Assessment              = 6,000.00
Taxable Improvement Assessment = 65,000.00
Total Assessment                           = 71,000.00

Assessment x Mill rate x Mill rate factor / 1,000 = taxes

71,000 x 9.0 x 0.720 / 1,000 = 460.08
$460.08 – Taxes
+$800.00 – Base Tax
+$200.00 – Infrastructure Levy
=$1,510.08 Total Residential Municipal Taxes
