How do I calculate my approximate property tax based on the posted millage rates?

The formula to calculate real property tax is: Assessment x millage = tax (face amount).

For example:  The County millage is the same for all municipalities, therefore the County Tax for a property with an assessed value of $100,000 and a rate of 4.551 mills would be calculated as follows: 100,000 X .004551 = $455.10 (face amount) Note: 4.551 mills is equivalent to a millage of .004551. This is comparable to expressing percentage as whole number (5%) and as a decimal (.05). In the case of millage, the decimal is moved three places to left instead of two.
