How many dollars does a taxing unit receive and for what purposes?
You can call your local county collector for this information or look it up on this web site. To look it up, go to “Statewide values and rates”. You can find the total tax for any city, school or county in the state, also you can find the total amount of taxes for all taxing units a county expects to collect. This will be shown as total taxes. In order to find the amount a taxing unit receives for a particular purpose, for example the amount a county receives for expenditures on county roads, you would need to know the millage for county roads. Find this under “Detailed millage by county” and multiply the millage by the total assessments.
