SNAPSHOT '95: 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 1994 total levy amount by the 1994 total taxable property value (as certified by the Comptroller's Property Tax Division). The six special statutory districts form a separate category because they do not levy property taxes.
