What are the property taxes on a 345k Home?

Property taxes depend on the tax rate in your municipality and the taxable value of your home. After buying a home, the taxable value is often reassessed.

It is common for the assessed value of a home to be roughly 50% of the purchase price of the home. This depends on the area. Over time the assessed value increases but the taxable value increases at a lower rate. When the home is sold again, the taxable value often gets increased significantly. For example, let's say you bought a home for $345,000 in an area with a tax rate of 40 mills. The taxable value is set to 50% of the purchase price.

	Previous Owner	New Owner
Purchase Price		345,000
Tax Rate	40 mills (4% of taxable value)	40 mills (4% of taxable value)
Taxable Value	103,500	172,500
Property Taxes	4,140	6,900
