Taxes Set by Budget Commission
Scioto County's smallest taxing district faces a large tax increase for 1972 collectable in 1973. In Barden Township’s portion of the Scioto Valley Local School District the rate rises from 29.4 to 40.6 mills, with a $40.60 levy per thousand of property. The rise reflects two new Pike County levies for operations and a new Scioto Valley school, plus small countywide and fire levies, and increases in hospital construction and Vo-Tech funding. Green Township, by contrast, reduces from 38.8 to 34.6 mills due to reassessed per capita factors.
