WHAT IS A MILL LEVY?

A mill is 1/10 of $.01 or $.001 (one thousandth).  A mill levy is the number of dollars a taxpayer must pay for every  $1000 of  assessed value.    The   taxing  entity determines the amount of dollars,   based  on  its   budget  request  to  the    County  Commissioners.  The property in the previous example was for a property located within the city limits of Rock Springs.  In this example,  the  70.000  mills may be  broken  down  as follows:

Mill levies are listed on a separate page on this web site, for more detail please refer to Mill Levies    There are many entities that have taxing  authority  in Sweetwater County.   These entities annually submit for a levy from the Board of County Commissioners.  The requested mills are based on a proposed budget (projected revenues and expenditures) of the entity and what it needs in tax dollars to  adequately  fund the services it provides to its taxpayers.
