Question

Van and her brother Trung both own homes valued at $175,000. Both pay property taxes at 1.25% and pay annual taxes of $2,187.50. They live in different neighborhoods. Van’s property value is expected to increase by 5% next year.Trung’s property value is expected to increase by 3%. How will these changes affect their property taxes? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Van's property tax will increase.

Trung's property tax will be less than Van's.

Trung's property tax will increase.

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Value of the home = $175,000

Property taxes = 1.25%

Annual taxes = $2,187.50

Increased percentage for Van = 5%

Increased percentage for Trung = 3%

based on the above information, the affect is as follows

Van's property tax would rise as he expects his home's value to rise more than Trung's property value. Since the value of Van 's property is rising and rising more than that of Trung, Trung's would be less than that of Van. Because of the rise in value Trung's property tax is rising.
