Williamson tax bills show dips and many rises in county
Williamson County taxpayers face mixed bills as 18 of 28 districts cut rates slightly while 12 maintain or raise levies. A 12.5 percent rise in non farm assessments due to state multiplier and an 8 percent farm assessment increase shape totals. Lake of Egypt Fire Protection District taxes begin for first time. Local homestead exemptions may cushion some homeowners despite higher overall levies.
