What this rate is, and is not
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.
A property's actual tax is its assessed value times the combined rate of every taxing unit at the address, minus exemptions. The county assessor or appraisal district values the property and the tax collector bills it. For a ZIP code's effective rate, use the property tax rate by ZIP code lookup.
