From the Daily News:
After hearing residents? concerns at the final 2005-06 budget hearing Monday night, commissioners decided to go even lower and set the new rate at 4.3099.
?I am stunned,? said Bonnie McQuiston, president of the Walton Taxpayers Association, a group that has pushed for a lower millage rate. ?I think we have the best county government in the state.?

We recently received two assessments for the same property. They were dated within 7 to 10 days of each other. The second one had a lower assessment. Any ideas why?

The first one was a mistake.

The first set of assessments went by the property appraiser's assessed value figures for 2004. Most people got a higher (or much higher) assessement for 2005, and that was the second set mailed out.

What impact will this have on our 2005 taxes? Also, does anyone know if the proposed budget that was to be discussed on September 6, 2005 passed.
Thanks chrisv! I am trying to remember the old rate...?
At any rate this should help a little!!

Do you have homestead exemption on your property? The reason I ask is mine was lower as well. (Still high, but lower.)
Otherwise, I have no clue.
If someone would be willing to post a Math example of the tax calculation that would be swell!! Say for example, if property assessment is $250,000 in the So Walton Fire District.....if you could possible walk thru the calculation that would be great....using the new rate as posted here....4.3099
I know this has previously been done but couldn't locate it....THANKS!!

Correction. The assessed value was 35% or so higher, but the taxes were down slightly.
