Table PD-30 shows total assessed value of, and taxes levied
on, real, public utility personal, and tangible personal
property for taxes payable in calendar year 1987. Taxes for
real and public utility personal property were levied in tax
year 1986, but payable in calendar year 1987. Special
assessments were also levied in tax year 1986 and payable in
calendar year 1987. In contrast, personal property taxes
(excluding public utility personal property) are levied and
payable in the same year - in this case 1987.

subtracting the 10 percent property tax rollback for all real
property, the 2.5 percent rollback for residential real
property, and the homestead exemption deduction.
