How is the tax calculated?

• One mill equates to $1 for every

$1,000 of assessed valuation, or $2 for a two-mill levy.

• Assessed valuation is one-third of

a property’s market value.

• For example, a home with a

market value of $150,000 and an assessed valuation of $50,000 can expect a tax of $100 per year, or $8.33 per month.

• This is not a new tax!
