What is a millage rate?
The tax rate, or millage rate, is set annually by the Murray County commissioner and the Murray County Board of Education. A tax rate of one mill represents a tax liability of $1 per $1,000 of assessed value. Each governing authority estimates their total revenue from other sources. This figure is subtracted from their overall budgetary needs, and then a millage rate is set that will generate the necessary revenues to fulfill budgetary requirements.
