The correct option is C: $2,641.

Solution:

Take your home market value and your assessment value to find the fair value.

144,700 *.72 = 104,184

Multiply that number by the city tax rate.

104,184 *.039 = 4,063.176

Now, multiply the 65% of tax dollars that go to public schools.

4,063.176 *.65 = 2,641

=> $2,641
