Trailer License Fees (Value Based)
Square Feet of the Trailer (and additions) X Market Value Rate X Portioning Rate for Residential
Less Depreciated Value
= Net amount for taxation X Current Year's residential tax rate
= License Fee Example:
a 1995 Trailer that is 1,500 square feet based on 2017's rates:
1500 x $70 x 45% =
47,250.00
49% x 47,250 =
-23,152.50
Amount to apply tax rate
24,097.50
License Fee = $24,097.50 x 23.72 mills = $571.59 (calculation is based on the 2017 mill rate.)
