Puerto Rico property tax calculator 2026
Property tax in Puerto Rico is administered through municipalities, with rates set locally rather than through one territory-wide schedule. This calculator provides an estimated property tax by applying a single combined municipal rate you enter to the property’s assessed value. Results can differ materially between municipalities and properties.
Estimates only. Loan terms and approval depend on lender underwriting.
Many U.S. counties use multiple local taxing authorities (county, city, school district, special districts). Enter your combined local millage rate as shown on your annual property tax notice.

How it works
This estimator uses two inputs. First is assessed value, which is the taxable value base used for property tax calculations. Second is a combined municipal property tax rate for the municipality where the property is located. Municipal ordinances can set the applicable rate structure and may add special contributions, so a single default rate is not reliable for territory-wide estimates. The calculation multiplies assessed value by the combined rate you provide to estimate annual property tax.
Examples
Example A: Assessed value of 180,000 with a combined municipal rate of 0.012 produces an estimated annual property tax of 2,160. Example B: Assessed value of 325,000 with a combined rate of 0.018 produces an estimate of 5,850. Using the correct municipality rate matters because the combined rate can vary across locations and local provisions.
Limitations and important notes
This is an estimated property tax, not an official tax bill. In Puerto Rico, property tax rates are set by municipalities and can differ by local rules and applicable contributions. Exemptions and exonerations may depend on property use, program participation, or other eligibility conditions, so this estimate does not automatically apply them. The actual tax bill may differ from this estimate.
FAQs
Is there one Puerto Rico property tax rate?
No. Property tax rates are set by municipalities, so the combined rate varies depending on where the property is located.
What value is used to calculate Puerto Rico property tax?
Property tax is calculated from assessed value. This calculator treats your input as the assessed value base for the estimate.
Why does the rate vary by municipality?
Municipalities set their property tax rates by local ordinance and may impose additional contributions under their legal authority.
Do exemptions change the Puerto Rico property tax base?
They can. Exemptions and exonerations are not uniform across all properties and often depend on eligibility or specific programs, so they are not applied automatically in this estimate.
