WHAT IS A MILLAGE RATE?

Millage Rate is the tax rate used to calculate local
property taxes. When multiplied against the
assessed value of taxable property it calculates the
amount of property tax to be paid. It represents the
amount per every $1,000 of a property's assessed
value.

Example: a millage rate of 3.77 mills is $3.77 per
thousand of assessed value. When doing
calculations, the millage rate is stated as .00377.
