During our bond process, people have asked What is the difference between my home’s Real Market Value and Assessed Value?
Real Market Value (RMV) is the amount that a property could reasonably expect to sell for as of January 1 of each year. Assessed Value (AV) is the value of the property subject to taxation. It cannot exceed the RMV.
You can look up your home property’s Assessed Value (AV) by reviewing your tax statement or through the search function at the Morrow County Assessor’s Office webpage.
Use your home’s Assessed Value to calculate what you would pay in property taxes if the Morrow County School District proposed bond passes:
Based on a home with an assessed value of $225,000:
• Divide $225,000 by 1000 = 225
• Multiply 225 by $2.99 = $673 per year in property taxes
• $673 divided by 12 = $56 per month in property taxes
Based on $2.99 per $1,000 of assessed property value; actual levy rate may differ.
Durante nuestro proceso de emisión de bonos, nos han preguntado: ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre el Valor Real de Mercado y el Valor Tasado de mi propiedad?
El Valor Real de Mercado (RMV, en inglés) es el precio al que una propiedad podría venderse razonablemente al 1 de enero de cada año. El Valor Tasado (AV, en inglés) es el valor de una propiedad que está sujeta a los impuestos. No debe exceder valor real de mercado.
Puede consultar el Valor Tasado (AV) de su vivienda consultando su declaración de impuestos o a través de la función de búsqueda en la página web de la Oficina del Tasador del Condado de Morrow.
Utilice el Valor Tasado de su hogar para calcular cuánto pagaría en impuestos prediales si se aprueba el bono propuesto por el Distrito Escolar del Condado de Morrow:
Para una propiedad con un valor tasado de $225,000:
• Divida $225,000 entre 1,000 = 225
• Multiplique 225 por $2.99 = $673 al año en impuestos prediales
• $673 dividido entre 12 = $56 al mes en impuestos prediales
Basado en $2.99 por cada $1,000 de valor tasado de la propiedad; la tasa real puede cambiar.
