Llano County to Cut Tax Levy Amid Rising Assessed Values
Llano County plans a 1.20 per hundred tax rate for 1963-64, down five cents by trimming road bond allocations. The initial assessed valuation stands at 11,400 with a $148,200 total county tax levy, and expected collection near 133,380 despite 14,820 delinquent. Bond principal and interest obligations total 219,900 with 27,000 and 2,800 respectively paid this year, and the county expects a paid-off debt by 1970 except for hospital bonds. The sacred fund will absorb 88 percent of the levy, while the general fund covers extra needs and depletes rapidly. Lakes area sales boost local taxes. McWilliams notes strong county finances overall.
