Last night July 15 2008, the Commission used a power point last night to explain the easiest way for a tax payer to check their tax bill. The was a property assessed at $225,000. In 2007 the property owner paid a municipal total of $2,655. In 2008 the total municipal tax is $2,547. This is a decrease of $108. The same property in 2007 paid a county tax total of $2,589 and in 2008 paid $2,715. This is an increase of $126. The same property paid a school tax total in 2007 of $1,489 and in 2008 paid $1,543. This is an increase of $54. Since the papers did not cover it I will. Here are some photos from last night.

Mark,
Don't forget to mention that due to the RAD, Tax Abatements and Pilots, this equates to an increase for the taxpayers, regarding our bill to the county. The taxes which they (RAD, Tax Abatements and Pilots)have been granted must be made up by the taxpayers. The county doesn't care if you give developers a break, they still want their money. And if you don't want to charge the developers then the taxpayers must pick up the bill. Thus the increase. Let's call it the way it is and STOP pointing the finger at the county and the state.
