Answer:

4%

Explanation:

The property tax rate required in the given question shall be determined through the following mentioned formula:

Property tax rate=[(Budget expenditure-Non property tax income)/Assessed value of the all properties-Total exemption)]

Based on the above formula:

Property tax rate=[($108 million- $50 million)/($2,000 million-$550 million)]

Property tax rate=$58 million/$1,450 million

Property tax rate=4%
