What are the mill levies?

The mill levy is the tax rate applied to the assessed value. One mill is one dollar per $1,000 of assessed value. Since 1996 the Legislature and Governor have reduced the statewide USD levy from 35 mills to 20 mills. The County Clerk computes the mill levies by dividing the portion of the taxing authority's budget that is property tax funded by the taxable assessed value in the taxing authority's service area.
