They urged revisions favoring students and argued the rule restricts individual housing choices. City commission will decide within 30 days.

Jackson County Tax Rates See Small Shifts Across Townships
Tax bills in Jackson County show little overall change from last year with rate adjustments across Elkville Vergennes and surrounding townships. Highlights include Elkville down 0.39 per $100 and Vergennes up 0.255 per $100, while the county rate drops 0.4 cents due to reductions in the township bridge fund and machinery tax elimination. Street and county agency levies vary, with Elkville and Vergennes city rates near stable to modestly higher, and several townships posting both increases and decreases in rates and district levies.
