SNAPSHOT 2000: Tax Effort

Districts are grouped into four tax effort categories, or quartiles, with approximately equal numbers of districts in each. This category shows the total effective tax rate, which is determined by dividing the 1999 total levy amount by the 1999 final assigned property value certified by the Comptroller's Property Tax Division for use in state funding. The 148 non-taxing district charters and the special statutory districts are in a separate category because they do not levy property taxes.
