Snapshot 2012 Summary Tables
Tax Rate

Districts are grouped into four tax rate categories, or quartiles, with approximately equal numbers of districts in each. This category shows the total locally adopted tax rate, the rate established by each local school district for the 2011-2012 school year and reported to the State Comptroller. The 203 non-taxing districts (charters and the special statutory districts) are in a separate category because they do not collect property taxes and have no tax rates.

(Each column heading is a link to see the list of districts included in each category.)
