A commercial office building in Nashville, Tennessee has an appraised value of $750,000. The Davidson County tax rate is $3.20 per $100 of assessed value. What is the annual property tax owed on this commercial property?
Correct Answer
A) $9,600
Step 1 — Identify the correct assessment ratio: Commercial property in Tennessee is assessed at 40% of appraised value (not 25% as with residential). Step 2 — Calculate assessed value: $750,000 × 40% = $300,000. Step 3 — Calculate annual tax: ($300,000 ÷ $100) × $3.20 = 3,000 × $3.20 = $9,600. The annual property tax is $9,600.
