A new grocery store is expected to have a fair market value of $2,856,000. It will be assessed at 40%, and the tax rate is $5.24 per $100 of assessed value. Find the amount of the property tax.
Assessed Value = (Fair Market Value) x (0.40) Where 0.40 is the decimal equivalent of 40%. Tax Rate = $5.24/$100 of assessed value = $0.0524 per dollar of assessed value. Taxes = (Assessed Value) x (Tax Rate) = (Assessed Value) x ($0.0524) Hope this helps!
