Thorn cites tax law quirk and rate recalculation
Jones County Judge Roy Thorn says legal notices about a tax hike mislead due to a Truth in Taxation Act requirement. The calculated rate is .2273 per $100, vs last year’s .80 at 30 percent valuation, meaning the overall tax bill remains the same barring new improvements and oil revenue. A public hearing is set for July 28 at 7 p.m. at the Jones County Courthouse.
