Real
Estate
Taxes |
Each tract is subject to the annual real estate
taxes as levied by Cook County and by Lutsen Township. Such taxes
are currently levied as follows:
Taxable Market Value (TMV) x class rate = tax capacity x tax
capacity rate = property tax.
Such taxes were levied for 2000 payable in 2001 as follows:
tax capacity rate for Lutsen Township is 86.031%
homestead taxes are levied at a rate of 1% up to $76,000 EMVand
1.65% of the amount in excess of $76,000
season non-homestead (recreational) taxes are levied at 1.2%
up to $76,000 and 1.65% of the amount in excess of $76,000
example: seasonal, non-homestead property valued at $249,000
$76,000 x 1.2%(class rate) = $912 (partial tax capacity)
$173,000 (amt over $76,000) x 1.65%(class rate) = $2854.50
$912.00 + $2854.50 = $3,766.50 x 86.031%(tax capacity rate) =$3240.36
Several things can affect the amount of property tax that you
pay and the dollar amount given above is only an approximation
based on probable use of the land. Information was provided by
the Cook County Auditor's Office at (218) 387-3000. |
