The amount of taxes to be paid is determined by multiplying the appropriate millage by assessed value less the proper exemptions. Millage rates are set by the county commissions and other taxing agencies, in response to:
1, needs of county general fund
2, needs of others who receive property tax revenues.
A mill is one-tenth of one cent(.001). When all of the taxing authorities' millage request are added together, you can calculate a total tax bill.
For example, if you own and live in a residence valued at $40,000 you pay on 10 percent of value or $4,000. Without exemptions, 56.5 mills would mean you owed $4,000 X .0565 = $226.50 or 48.5 mills would mean you owe $4,000 X .0485 = $195.00, depending on whether property is in Mobile/Prichard or Mobile County.
