Tax debates flare at Market County public hearing on budgets
Residents voiced concern over rising property taxes at the Market County commission hearing for the proposed budget and millage rate. Claims of 300 percent increases surfaced, with New Orleans resident Joseph Jackson citing his home's assessment rise from 222000 to 347000. Fountain defended assessments as aligned with market values and state rules, noting pre January 1 1986 sales and pending development effects. Public hearings on assessments will be held September 29 in DeFuniak Springs. Monday is the deadline to file.
