County Tax Levy Faces Hurdle From Valuation Decline
Olson says county's valuation drop requires a higher mill levy to raise 17.9 million in tax dollars, moving from 35 to above 38. A $100,000 home could pay about 30 more this year, with 2005 levies at 36.027 resulting in 414 per 100000. Commissioner Mayo notes budget talks will determine final action as services must be funded.
