What is the effective property tax rate? Round your answer to the nearest
tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

Mill rate is a tax rate—the amount of tax payable per dollar of the assessed value of a property. Mill is derived from the Latin word millesimum, meaning thousandth. As used in property tax, 1 mill is equal to $1 in property tax levied per $1,000 of a property's assessed value.
