Rollback Rate Example* In 2013, the total taxable value of real estate is $500,000,000 and the millage rate is 5 mills ($5 per $1,000 of taxable value). Therefore, property tax revenue is $2,500.000 ($500,000,000 X .005)* Rollback rate for 2014 means that the total property tax revenue must equal the same revenue as the previous year ($2,500,000).If 2014 taxable value of Real Estate is $515,000,000, what is the roll back rate?Answer: $515,000,000 X Millage Rate = $2,500,000Millage (Rollback Rate) = .00485437 or 4.85 mills.
