Daily Journal- Property Tax

Daily Journal Property Tax December 1, 2009

Today we learned how to calculate property taxes.
You calculate property taxes by first finding:
a)The assessed Value of the property
b)The tax rate

{Note} Assessed value is not the same as market value. It is simply an artificial valuation set by a provincial tax assessor for taxation purposes.

Mill Rate is how much you pay for every $1000



Example Question

1) The Davies own a home assessed at $80 000. The rate of assessment is 45%. The mill rate is 60 mills and there was a local improvement tax of$210.00 for a sidewalk reconstruction. What was their total tax bill?

$80 000 X .45 = $36 000

You times 80 000 by 45 percent to find the total portion assessment.


$36 000 X 60/ 10000 = $2160

Then you times the total portion assessment by the mill rate but remember the mill rate is for every $1000 so divide by 1000 after multiplying by 60.


$2160 + 210 = $2370

There was also a local improvement tax of$210.00 for a sidewalk so you must add it to your property tax.


$2370 is how much you will have to pay for your property tax.

Topic: Comparing Prices Using Unit Prices

Today, we looked at page 237 in your text book, and looked over example two.
We were assigned page 239 numbers one and two

Tip: When calculating price per unit, it is ALWAYS ---> cost over quantity

Example: Milk was being sold at these sizes --> $3.98 for 4L Milk; $2.69 for 2L Milk; $1.65 for

1L Milk

Question: Which would be the best deal?

Solution: Remember, cost over quantity! First deal: 3.98/4 = .995 per litre
Second deal: 2.69/2 = 1.345 per litre

Third Deal: 1.65/1 = 1.65 per litre
* / means to divide *

This shows that the first deal of $3.98 for 4L would be the best because it is the cheapest per litre of milk.

Example 1 1 Kroner= $ 0.19 Can

6000 Kroner = 6000 x Can $0.19
