Mill Rate

Mill Rate for Grand List 2022 for Real Estate and Personal Property is 37.24

Mill Rate for Grand List 2022 for Motor Vehicles is 32.46

City Center District Mill Rate Grand List 2022 is 1.19 

A Mill is 1/1000 of a dollar.
Taxes are computed by multiplying the assessed value of a property by the mill rate.
Example: Assessed Value of Property $100,000 Mill Rate 37.24
Therefore: $100,000 x .03724 = $3,724.00 annual tax
Or: $37.24 in taxes for every $1000 of assessment.
