How to read these rates

Effective, not nominal

The effective rate is what owners paid as a share of what their homes are worth. It folds in assessment ratios and exemptions, so it compares fairly across places with very different millage rates.

Survey estimates

Figures come from owners’ answers to the American Community Survey, pooled over five years. Small counties have wider margins of error, which we show and use to flag weak estimates.

Your bill

Your tax depends on your assessment and exemptions. Divide last year’s bill by your home’s market value for your own rate, then use it in the estimator.
