How are my taxes calculated?

Your tax bill is based on the assessed value of your property. You pay taxes for every $100.00 in assessed value. The 2011 tax rate for Hainesport Township is 3.548 for every $100.00 of assessed value. To figure out the taxes on a piece of property with a total assessment of $163,100 (the average assessment for a residential property in Hainesport Township in 2011) you would divide $163,100 by 100 ($1,631.00) and multiply that figure by the tax rate ($1,631.00 x 3.548 = $5,786.79).
