If you are trying to determine the property tax for your home, or for a home you are interested in purchasing, simply visit the website for the county where the home is located. You can then enter the address, and it will show you the property taxes, as well as other information for the property. You may also be able to contact the county by telephone to learn the property taxes.

Here is an example property tax calculation. Assume that the property taxes are 1,638.36.
Take this number and divide it by 12. This is the monthly amount of the property tax.
In many situations, a lender will collect the monthly property tax as part of your payment. This property tax is kept in an escrow account at the lender, and then when the property taxes become due, the tax is paid by the lender from the escrow account. The lender collects the property taxes to ensure that they are paid, because if they are not paid, the lender has a huge risk because property taxes prevail over any liens. Once the owner has about 20% equity, they can ask the lender to stop collecting the escrow, and the owner can pay the taxes directly if they so wish.
