Example 1:

To calculate the tax on your home, let's assume it has a taxable value of $125,000 and is located within the City of Kannapolis. The City of Kannapolis' ($0.63) and Cabarrus County's ($0.74) combined tax rates for 2020 are $1.37 per hundred dollars of assessed value.

To calculate the tax, multiply the assessed value by the tax rate and divide by 100: $125,000 (assessed value) x 1.37 (tax rate)/100 = $1,712.50

Example 2:

To calculate the tax on your home if you live in a fire district, let's assume it has a taxable value of $150,000 and is located in the Odell Fire District. Odell's rate ($0.068) and Cabarrus County' rate ($0.74) combine for a 2020 rate of $0.808 per hundred dollars of assessed value.

To calculate the tax, multiply the assessed value by the tax rate and divide by 100: $150,000 (assessed value) x 0.808 (tax rate)/100 = $1212.00​​​​
