About effective rates
An effective rate from survey data: the median of what owner-occupied households report paying in real estate taxes, divided by the median value they report. It is not the county's millage or levy rate and not a tax bill; local rates vary by city, school district and special district, and exemptions (homestead, senior, veteran) change what each owner pays.
For one ZIP code, use the property tax rate by ZIP code lookup, which also estimates the tax on a home value.
