Reading these rates

The rate shown adds the county and city rates, as the Department of Revenue publishes them; it leaves out special districts such as fire districts. Counties revalue on different schedules, so the effective rate, which adjusts for how close assessments are to sale prices, is the better way to compare towns across counties.
