Example Millage Rate Calculation
Step-by-Step Calculation using Millage Rate:
Fair market home/property value of $300,000
Millage Rate of 15.075 (Bryan County Schools 2024 Millage Rate)
Determine the Taxable Assessed Value:
In Bryan County, property taxes are based on 40% of the fair market value of the property
Assessed value = 40% of $300,000 = $300,000 × 0.40 = $120,000
Apply the millage rate to the assessed value to determine cost of property taxes:
A mill is a number that equals $1 of tax for every $1,000 of the assessed value of your property.
$120,000 ÷ 1,000 = $120 (because 1 mill is per thousand dollars).
Multiply the mill value by the millage rate:
$120 × 15.075 (millage rate) = $1,809
Final Answer:
The annual property taxes owed for school taxes would be $1,809 ($150.75 per month).
