Answer 1

$600,000

Explanation:

Emma's property is assessed at $650,000.

Her property qualified for a $50,000 homestead tax exemption and was appraised at $800,000.

Emma's taxes will be based on the assessment and not the appraisal.

She also gets the $50,000 tax reduction.

Hence, the taxable value of Emma's property will be =
`650000-50000=600000` dollars.

The answer is $600,000

Answer 2

The assessed value is the basis for tax calculations. The taxable value is the assessed value less any applicable exemptions.

taxable value = $650,000 -50,000 = $600,000.
