“$15.3 million – come from property taxes due to the increase in property values.”
I’m thinking it is mainly from all the new $250,000 and UP priced Homes being built over the past few Years that is bringing in all the new Revenue. There are still Hundreds being built and many Hundreds about to be built soon which is why you do not need to be raising ANY Taxes or Fee’s, just sit back and wait for the Money to roll in.
When the county leaves the millage rate the same and property values go up, the county has indeed raised property taxes.
