The tax rate is decreasing slightly. But because of rising property values, some property owners will pay a higher dollar amount, and the county government will receive more tax money.
The 2022-2023 fiscal year began Oct. 1; normally the Inmate Medical Services' budget of $230,000 lasts them the whole year, but one inmate had a $235,000 medical bill.
Rising property values are likely to push locals' tax bills higher this year, even if the County Commission approves a modest decrease in the tax rate.
