- Residential, commercial and industrial land and improvements

Market value of land and improvements is calculated using the cost, income and market approaches by the local office of the Department of Revenue.
Given a residence with phase-in value of $100,000 in tax year 2004, the tax liability is calculated as follows.
$100,000 = Phase-in Value
Homestead Exemption is 31.4%$100,000 - ($100,000 x 31.4%) = $68,600
Phase-in Value - Homestead Exemption = Taxable Market Value$68,600 x 3.30% = $2,264
Taxable Market Value x Taxable Percentage = Taxable Value$2,264 x 400 mills = $905.60
Taxable Value x Mills = Taxes
