property taxes
Real estate assessments
Property taxes are annual charges levied by local governments on real estate, calculated as a percentage of the property's assessed value.
They fund public services like schools, roads, police, and fire departments.
Homeowners typically pay property taxes directly or through an escrow account managed by their mortgage lender.
Our property taxes went up after the county reassessed home values.
The rate varies widely by location and is often a major consideration when buying a home.
