What is the difference in taxes if a property does not have a Principal Residence Exemption?

A Principal Residence Exemption allows for up to 18 mills of local school operating taxes to be exempted from taxation. Using the above example, in 2022 a non-homestead property would have been billed $7,298.06 in taxes without administration fee. The millage rate would have been 72.9806 mills (0.0729806).
