Property tax calculation
Hi, I have some questions about how to calculate property tax?
Let's say, a vacant land from wayne country MI, is 1200 Dollars. According to Zillow tax calculator: 19.32% f ( tax rate 1.61)
But in the description, it says one dollar!
How can I calculate any tax amount correctly or next to correctly? It should not be very simple?
(assessed value of the house, or price listed on the ad) x the tax rate of that state!
Another question: are vacant or improved lands subject to property taxes? If so, is the is the same rate with houses or buildings?
