Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mill rate in property taxes? ▼
One mill equals one-tenth of a cent ($0.001) or $1 in tax per $1,000 of assessed property value. A mill rate of 25 means $25 in tax per $1,000 of assessed value (2.5%).
What is the difference between market value and assessed value? ▼
Market value is what a buyer would pay for the home today. Assessed value is the valuation assigned by local municipal tax assessors (often an assessment ratio percentage of market value).
