Rock County's proposed budget lowers taxes
ADVERTISEMENT
From the WCLO newsroom:
The first look at the Rock County budget shows the recommended tax rate at $5.38 per thousand.
That's actually a decrease, which is a result of equalized value in the county increasing by 4.62 percent.
As he presented the budget proposal to the Rock County Board of Supervisors Thursday night, Administrator Craig Knutson said the county is safeguarding its savings account and rainy day fund. He says some might consider the current environment a rainy day, but it's hard to know whether a hurricane is waiting in coming years.

Why can't reporters get their brains wrapped around taxes?

Where is the rest of the story, as sannio asked?

Values took a huge jump, as they have in most counties. The mil rate was reduced, as most counties have done. But, was it reduced by the amount to mantain a zero increase on that line item on my property tax bill?

I would guess the county did not cut the mil rate by an equal amount, and indeed, county taxes are INCREASING.

Does this mean the county gets more because of increased property values, and not because of a tax increase? Some of these things really confuse me, but I like the idea of a rainy day account.

It is very unlikely that a hurricane will ever travel far enough inland to affect Rock County, but it is good to know that we are prepared for one. ;-)
