Rates are estimates derived from Census ACS 5-year data, not your actual bill — see the methodology for how they're calculated. A “≥” rate means the county sits at the ACS top-code ceiling, so the real rate may be higher.

Exemption rules and amounts are summarized from official statutes and state tax-agency sources as of each program's verified date and can change by legislative session.
