Grayson County Maintains Yearly Tax Levy With Road Funding Boost
Sherman May 20 The Grayson County Commissioners set the county levy for the current year with no general tax increase. The rate remains 55 cents per $100, but road and bond funds rise to provide an estimated $25,000 for road upkeep. The shift comes from trimming the general fund and bridge repairs levies and refinancing county road bonds, with total valuations around $47 million.
