County Tax Boost Ahead for Childress County
Childress County faced a $36 000 deficit last year per county auditor John Inman. He said revenue increases are needed and taxes are the only source, noting doubling valuation would add about $120 000 annually. If valuation passes $15 million, a full time auditor is required and a special election may be called to raise the tax rate.
