Levied locally: tax applies to 35% of appraised (market) value times voted millage — a mill is $1 per $1,000 of assessed value. HB 920 "effective rate" reduction factors keep most bills from rising in step with property values; county auditors reappraise every 6 years (with a 3rd-year update). Rates vary by county and school district.

IndianaInfo
Indiana's constitutional property-tax caps (circuit breaker credits) limit the bill to 1% of gross assessed value for homesteads, 2% for other residential and agricultural land, and 3% for nonresidential and personal property. Assessed value reflects market value-in-use; local levies set the rate. A homestead must receive the Homestead Standard Deduction to qualify for the 1% cap.

MichiganInfo
No statewide rate — the Michigan Constitution requires uniform assessment at no more than 50% of true cash (market) value, and under Proposal A each parcel's taxable value can rise no more than the rate of inflation or 5%, whichever is less. Tax bill = taxable value × locally set millages. Varies by locality.

PennsylvaniaInfo
Pennsylvania levies no state property tax; real estate is taxed by local districts (counties, municipalities, and school districts) on county-assessed values. The State Tax Equalization Board (STEB) sets each county's Common Level Ratio of assessed value to market value, used in assessment appeals and to equalize values for state education funding.
