FAQ
To calculate how much of the property taxes to prorate at closing, you need to know what the tax obligations are for both the buyer and seller. To find this amount, multiply each party's number of days by the daily tax rate, and then multiply again by the property value.
Property Tax Proration First, determine the daily tax rate by dividing the annual tax by 365 days (assuming a calendar year method). So, $3,600 / 365 = $9.86 per day. Next, multiply this daily rate by the number of days the buyer will own the property: $9.86 x 166 days = $1,636.99.
To calculate the proration amount, divide the total expense by the number of days in the period. For example, if annual property taxes are $6,000, and the proration period covers a full year (365 days), the daily proration amount would be $16.44.

To put it in simple terms, the seller will be responsible for the property tax balance that accrued from the beginning of the tax year until the date of closing, and the buyer will be responsible for property taxes that are due for the period after the closing date.
Taxes are typically prorated at closing, meaning the seller pays for their time owning the property prior to closing, while the buyer takes responsibility for taxes owed after the closing date.
