SNAPSHOT '99: 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 1998 total levy amount by the 1998 total taxable property value (as certified by the Comptroller's Property Tax Division). The 67 non-taxing districts--charters and the special statutory districts--are in a separate category because they do not levy property taxes.
