This is not the case where I live. Levy rates are set in statute.

Are rates proportional to house valuations used in “most places in the U.S”?

That is, are most rates not “mill rates” (where relative house values matter, not absolute values).

Yeah I'm very curious about this. I assumed that because my taxes have been purely proportional in the several places that I've lived that this was generalized to across the U.S.

This is the first I've heard of a city adjusting taxes down.
