For each levy, determine the residential rate to raise the previous year’s levy by dividing the previous year’s levy amount, referred to in paragraph 1, by the total weighted assessment determined under paragraph 3. 5. For each levy, determine a class rate to raise the previous year’s levy for each property class for the taxation year by multiplying the residential rate to raise the previous year’s levy, as determined under paragraph 4, by the tax ratio for the property class for the taxation year. 6.
