Real Estate Taxes

Figure Your Monthly Property Tax

A monthly house payment is made up of several items, but most of it is principal and interest. The other major part is property tax. To estimate your monthly real estate tax payment, multiply the total appraised value of your home by 40 %. (100% in Gainesville only) Deduct from this amount your homestead exemption, using the following figures:

          $2,000   Cherokee, Fayette, Hall and Paulding
            $4,000    Henry And Newton
            $5,000    Forsyth
            $6,000    Douglas
            $10,000 Clayton, Cobb and Dekalb
            $13,000 Rockdale
            $15,000 Fulton
            Gwinnett, call the tax commissioner

Divide the balance 1,000. Multiply this amount by the millage rate listed below. This final figure is your estimated annual tax. Divide this amount by 12 to calculate your estimated monthly property tax.
