The General Tax Rate is used to calculate the tax assessed on a property. It is equal to $10 for every $1,000 of taxable assessed value.
The Effective Tax Rate is used to compare one district to another, assuming districts are at 100% valuation.
The effective tax rate should NOT be used to calculate property tax.
Example Calculation: (Assessed Value $450,000 x General Tax Rate 3.914) / 100 = Estimated Tax Bill of $17,613
