There might also be a fire service area, snow removal area, sewer service area, and so on. For example, a county might have a road service area (maintained roads that mostly serve people that live in a specific area), which assesses a millage rate on every property that likely receives that service. As a result, properties in the same geographical area may have different tax burdens. In most cases, there are several zones within a jurisdiction, each of which charges a separate millage rate. In this case, the owner of a $100,000 home would pay $1,500 in property tax. Therefore, 15 mills would equal $15 per $1,000 of assessed value, or 1.5% of what the assessor deems the real estate or personal property to be worth. One mill translates to $1 of property taxes per $1,000 of property value.
Local governments and school districts often express property taxes in millage rates (aka mills).
