Property tax is one of the things you'll need to consider when estimating the cost of owning a house in The Archipelago. This tax helps fund many local services, such as snow removal, fire protection, and much more. Each year, the municipality determines its property tax rate - which typically falls in the range of 0.5 to 2.5%. Some The Archipelago residents assume they'll pay more in taxes, depending on the size of their home. However, that's not necessarily true as the city's tax rate is multiplied by the property's current market value - and that can change each year based on the sale of nearby homes. Let's say your home's assessed market value is $600,000 and the municipality's property tax rate is 1% - that year you'd pay $6,000.
