Real estate tax rate in mills set in the district's own General Fund Budget and reported to PDE for 2025-26. One mill is $1 of tax for every $1,000 of assessed value. Counties, not districts, set assessed values and assess at different fractions of market value, so mills are not comparable between counties.
