  13. What is a “Mill?” 1 mill = $1.00 for every $1,000 of assessed valuation.
  14. What is a “Mill?” (Continued) Estimating Your Tax Bill: Find the assessed value of your property. For our example, it is $200,000. In Ohio, you are taxed on 35% of that value which, in our example, is $70,000 (200,000 times .35). Your taxable value is $70,000 or “70 thousands.” For our example, let’s say a certain school district adopted a millage rate of 6.7 Divide the millage rate by 1,000, then multiply your taxable value by it to get your annual tax bill (.0067 times 70,000) $469 per year___________
