How are real estate taxes calculated?

The steps outlined below show how a real estate tax bill is calculated. The calculations used in the example are for a $100,000 property for tax year 2016; Full tax rates and reduction factors can be found on the tax rate sheet.

In this example we used the rate and reduction factor from Wayne Twp. Wooster City, Wooster City School District. This example includes the Owner Occupied Credit reduction (owner occupied residence).

  1. Determine the assessed value
    Formula: (Appraised Value) x 35% = Assessed Value
    Example: $100,000 x .35 = $35,000
  2. Divide (Assessed Value) in half to Calculate Half-Year Tax Bill Amount.
    Formula: (Appraised Value) / 2 = Assessed Value (For Half-Year Tax Bill Calculation)
    Example: $35,000 / 2 = $17,500
  3. Calculate the gross tax
    Formula: (Assessed Value x (Full Rate) = Gross Tax (for Half-Year) / 1,000 (Per Thousand)
    Example: $17,500 x 104.50 / 1,000 = $1,828.75
  4. Calculate the reduction factor credit amount
    Formula: (Gross Tax) x (Reduction Factor) = Credit
    Example: $1,828.75 x .345182 = $631.25
  5. Reduce the gross tax by the reduction factor credit amount
    Formula: (Gross Tax) - (Reduction Factor Credit) = Adjusted Tax
    Example: $1,828.75 - $631.25 = $1,197.50
  6. Calculate the rollback credit amount
    Formula: (Adjusted Tax) x (Rollback) = Non-Business Credit (formerly 10% Rollback Reduction)
    Example: $1,197.50 x .094886 = $113.63
  7. For "Owner-Occupied" Residential Properties, there is an additional Rollback.
    Formula: (Adjusted Tax) x (Rollback) = Owner-Occupied Credit (formerly 2.5% Rollback Reduction)
    Example: $1,197.50 x .023721 = $28.41
  8. Reduce Adjusted Tax by Total Rollback for Half-Year Tax Amount.
    Formula:
      (Non-Business Credit) + (Owner Occupied Credit) = Total Rollback Reduction
      (Adjusted Tax Amount) - (Total Rollback Reduction) = Total Half-Year Tax Amount.
    Example:
      $113.63 + $28.41 = $142.04
      $1,197.50 - $142.04 = $1,055.46
      Half Year Tax Amount: $1,055.46 (Billed Semi-Annually)
      Full Year Tax Amount: $2,110.92
