What are property taxes categorized as?

  1. Ad valorem taxes

  2. Federal income taxes

  3. Sales taxes

  4. Customs duties

The correct answer is: Ad valorem taxes

Property taxes are categorized as ad valorem taxes, which means they are based on the assessed value of a property. Option B, federal income taxes, are based on one's income, not property. Option C, sales taxes, are based on the purchase of goods and services, not on property ownership. Option D, customs duties, are taxes on imports and exports, not related to property ownership. Therefore, the only correct answer option is A, ad valorem taxes.
