Residents living in the unincorporated area of the county will have a 2009 millage rate of 28.416 mills. This is the total of 2, 3, and 4 in the above chart.

Residents living in the City of Leesburg will have a 2009 millage rate of 34.416 mills. This is the total of 1, 3, 4, and 5 in the above chart.

Residents living in the City of Smithville will have a 2009 millage rate of 32.416 mills. This is the total of 1, 3, 4, and 6 in the above chart.

Once a resident has used the table above to calculate their 2009 millage rate on a piece of property, it is possible to estimate the taxes owed. First the millage must be divided 1000. For example those living in the unincorporated areas of the county will take the 28.416 mills deduced from the table above and divide it by 1000 (or simply move the decimal three places to the left) so that it is expressed as .028416.

To estimate the tax bill simply multiply your assessed property value (property is assessed for taxes at 40% of the fair market value on file in the Tax Assessor's Office) by .028416 (if in the unincorporated area of the county, those residents living in the cities should use the millage rate appropriate for them). The following is an example based on a home with a fair market value of $100,000 located in the unincorporated area of the county without a homestead exemption.
