County Tax Rise Not Drastic Says Board of Equalization
The Board of Equalization approved a 0.5 percent increase in the county tax rate to offset lower mineral values and higher maintenance costs while keeping the tax base at 1.25 per 100 assessed. Officials noted the rise affects a $10,000 home with values rising from 1,233 to 1,280 and tied changes to general costs rather than the hospital bond election. About 800 residents face tax increases as values are updated to current figures.
