County Budget Keeps Taxes Flat at 4.4 Million
Adams County tentatively approves a 4,269,602 spending plan funded by the same real estate tax, a $3 per capita levy, and a four mil personal property tax. The $566,000 increase is offset by higher property values and greater real estate revenue, with county departments projected to rise about 10 percent. Taxpayers association leaders generally praise the news, though they seek clearer narrative on changes.
