Q:  How to check the tax calculation.

A: Simply multiply your assessed property value by the applicable tax rate for your class of property, as shown on your 2011 Property Tax Bill. For example, the residential tax rate is set at .01332266 so the calculation for the typical residential house assessed at $173,000 is as follows: 

$173,000 (Property’s current value assessment) 
x .01332266 (Residential tax rate) 
$2,304.82 (Property taxes)
