Mill Rate - THERE IS NO CHANGE FOR THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF THE 2023 GRAND LIST
Mill Rate for Grand List 2023 for Real Estate and Personal Property is 27.50
Mill Rate for Grand List 2023 for Motor Vehicles is 27.50
City Center District Mill Rate Grand List 2023 is 1.00
A Mill is 1/1000 of a dollar.
Taxes are computed by multiplying the assessed value of a property by the mill rate.
Example: Assessed Value of Property $100,000 and Mill Rate 27.50
Therefore: $100,000 x .0275 = $2,750.00 annual tax
Or: $27.50 in taxes for every $1000 of assessment.
