7. The local school district needs to collect $125,000 in taxes. The taxing authority has determined the total assessed value of all of the real estate in the district to be $14,719,000. Find the property tax rate needed to the nearest hundredth of a percent.
☐ 85%
☐ 8.5%
☐ 0.85%
☐ 0.084%

Answer

To find the property tax rate, use the formula:

Tax Rate (%) = (Taxes Needed / Total Assessed Value) × 100

Substitute the given values:

Tax Rate (%) = ($125,000 / $14,719,000) × 100

Tax Rate (%) = 0.8496%

Rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent, the tax rate is 0.85%.

  1. 85%
  2. 8.5%
  3. 0.85%
  4. 0.084%
