Calculating property tax when analyzing a deal
I am currrently in the self-education mode, analyzing deals and learning the ropes. To get the most accuracy, how do most folks estimate property taxes?
The property I'm analyzing is in the Seattle, WA area. I looked on the county website, and I found info on the "Taxable Property Value" per the lot I'm looking at. However, I can't find the property tax %. When I searched online, I was pointed to a "Total Consolidated Levy" on the same county website. It is 4.2. Is this what I'm looking for?
My final calucation is:
("Taxable Property Value" / 1000) x "Total Consolidated Levy"
($111k / 1000) x 4.2 = $466/yr
Thanks,
Adrian
