- Lack of a visible bar can occur when the average levy is so small the result is a bar less than one pixel in height.
- Levies shown are for county property taxes only. Amounts do not include levies for other taxing entities (cities, school districts and special districts).
- Nominal amounts are not adjusted for inflation.
- Real amounts are adjusted for inflation using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) obtained from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- Amounts are not adjusted for change in population (increase or decrease).
