Tax Implications

Will the County need to raise my taxes to pay for these bonds?
Yes. The County cannot repay these bonds, if they are approved, without a tax increase. A property tax increase of 2.25 cents will be needed for the principal and interest payment on the bonds, along with operating costs associated with the new facilities. This increase would mean that for every $100,000 of assessed property value, a taxpayer would pay an additional $22.50 per year in taxes. If your home is assessed at $200,000, your property tax bill would go up $45 per year.
