The County Auditor sets the value of each property located within the district.  This is known as the Appraised Value (also known as market value). The Taxable Value is 35% of the Appraised Value - this is the value used to calculate taxes due.

A mill is defined as one-tenth of one percent. In property tax calculations, millage is the rate applied to the Taxable Value to determine the property taxes to collect.

1 Mill = $1 for every $1,000 of Taxable Value
