Tax Board Trims A Penny On County Rates
The tax board sets Country Club Heights at .90, no increase, and keeps River Forest and Woodlawn Heights at .93 and .46 for next year. Final action on the county rate is due today with a proposed county rate of 1.405, about .13 above the present. Chairman Don Keck says budgets will be studied per department before action, and some officials may be called to explain requests. He expects the board to push toward reducing the county rate to the current 1.27 amid local option tax limits. Madison County’s assessed value has risen by 18.4 million, influencing budgets as officials aim to stay near current rates aided by federal funds.
