tax rates dropping
tommyAn email/press release from the Hillsborough County Communications Department (I couldn’t find it online):
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY NEWS
July 27, 2006
Largest Millage Rollback in the History of HIllsborough County
For the past eleven years a total of 1.3 mills in property tax reduction has occurred in Hillsborough County. Now in its twelfth year, the Board of County Commissioners voted today to reduce the tax rate even further by .3735 mills.
County Commissioners will hold Final Budget Hearings on September 12 and 21. During these public hearings Commissioners will adopt the Final 2007 Budget.
You already know that this small rate cut combined with the increased property values means you will actually pay MORE in taxes this year. But the County doesn’t want to tell you that. This way, commissioners can say they cut taxes.
They could have cut them more, you know. The County Commission left enough money in the budget to further insulate Cheval residents from the likes of you. The county voted to spend $1,000,000 to build a noise buffering wall along the exclusive gated community. In a county of over a million, I’m sure it will do these couple thousand homeowners some good to be further fenced in.
I’d gladly pay a few bucks if we can permanently padlock them inside the gate.
