Recently we looked at how Prairie Village responsibly uses your local tax dollars, and after this week’s Council Meeting presentation by City Finance Director, Lisa Santa Maria, we can zoom out a bit to look at our Mill Levy and taxes levied in 2019.

The mill levy represents how much of your property’s taxable value will be charged in real estate taxes. Each “mill” represents a tax of one-thousandth of a dollar for each dollar of the assessed value of the property.

I love a good pie chart! Here’s one to illustrate how the mill is allocated:
