Understanding Mills: A Unit of Property Tax Measurement

A mill is a unit of measurement used to levy property taxes, calculated as 1/10 of a penny. Local tax rates are always expressed in mills, with one mill generating $1.00 in tax income for every $1,000 of assessed property value. For example, if a school district has a total property assessed valuation of $50 million and an effective tax rate of 30 mills, it would generate $1,500,000 annually. This understanding is crucial for property owners and local governments in managing tax revenues effectively.
