County Tax Rates Rise as Road and Jury Funds Increase
Commissioners Court met Monday to levy the 1921 county tax rate at 71 cents, up from 59 last year. The rise comes from a 15 cent road tax and a 2 cent increase to the first-class jury fund, offset by a 5 cent reduction on the jail and courthouse bonds. The report lists fund allocations for first, second, and third class funds, and notes school district maintenance taxes and the occupation tax.
