What is the first tax installment on a property whose assessed value is $180,000, assuming the property is eligible for a homeowner's exemption?

  1. $650

  2. $865

  3. $1,000

  4. $1,200

The correct answer is: $865

A $650 is incorrect because it does not take into account the homeowner's exemption which would reduce the tax amount. C: $1,000 is incorrect because it is too high of an amount for the first tax installment on a property with an assessed value of $180,000. D: $1,200 is incorrect because it is also too high of an amount for the first tax installment on a property with an assessed value of $180,000. The correct answer is B: $865. This amount takes into account the homeowner's exemption which would reduce the tax amount to this final total.
