How to Find Property Tax Levied?

Tax Levy = Millage Rate times Taxable Value
  1. a tax rate of 32 mills ($32 of taxes for every $1,000 of Taxable Value.
  2. a "Taxable Value" of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00)

How is property tax levied?

Property taxes are calculated by taking the mill levy and multiplying it by the assessed value of the owner's property. The assessed value estimates the reasonable market value for your home. It is based upon prevailing local real estate market conditions.

How do you calculate a tax levy?

Multiply the assessed value by the "mill levy" (which is listed under the tax unit the property is located) and then divide by 1,000 to estimate the property tax.
