Compare property tax burden across jurisdictions
Two counties with similar millage rates can carry very different real burdens. Tavirex compares jurisdictions on the factors that actually predict cost, built on authoritative county assessor records and Census data, the same sources behind every Tavirex analysis.
Assessment-to-market ratio
How a jurisdiction assesses value relative to the market. The IAAO ratio-study measure that surfaces where over-assessment, and the disputable money, tends to sit.
Effective tax rate
The real burden once millage, assessment ratio, and exemptions combine, rather than the headline millage rate that hides the true cost to a homeowner.
Home value-to-income ratio
Median home value divided by median household income. The Census-derived factor that predicts property tax burden as a share of income, a pattern millage tables completely obscure.
