Property Tax Millage Rates
Summary
The proposed countywide rate of 6.571 mills, plus Library and Sheriff MSTU rates, sits 2.32% above the rolled-back rate — meaning a small property tax increase for most owners. The Board had already voted 4-1 on September 8 to trim the countywide rate slightly below the tentative 6.600.
