Assuming that the current assessed value of a property after all exemptions have been applied is $55,000, what is the annual tax on that property?

  1. $550

  2. $5,500

  3. $5500

  4. $55

The correct answer is: $550

After all exemptions have been applied to a property, the assessed value is $55,000. The annual tax on the property is calculated by taking a certain percentage of the assessed value. In this scenario, the correct answer is A, $550, which is 1% of $55,000. Option B, $5,500, is 10% of $55,000 which is too high of a percentage for annual property tax. Option C, $5,500, is the same as option B and therefore also incorrect. Option D, $55, is likely not enough to cover the annual property tax, as it is only 0.1% of $55,000.
