How we calculate your annual taxes:
Billable assessed value: $632,030.00
times the current tax rate: x 19.8430%
Annual property tax: $125,413.72

HOA, common charges and maintenance require documented building or unit evidence. Sales and DOB records do not establish these amounts. A zero property-tax bill does not establish zero PILOT or other ownership charges. Bills may change with tax rates or benefits; monthly figures are annual equivalents.
