The General Tax Rate is used to calculate the tax due on a property. It is equal to $10 per $1,000 of assessed value.
The Effective Tax Rate is used to compare one district to another, assuming the two districts are at 100% valuation.
The effective tax rate should NOT be used to calculate property tax.
Example Tax Calculation: (Assessed Value $350,000 x General Tax Rate 4.225) / 100 = Estimated Tax Bill of $14,787
