Why do property tax rates vary throughout the county?

The amount of property tax due on similar properties may be different throughout a county. There are three reasons for these differences:

  1. The various combination of taxing districts in different areas of the county.
  2. The presence of voter-approved special levies and bonds.
  3. The amount of the budget for each taxing district.
