A slight decrease in 1983 taxes could
be on tap for Henderson Countians
provided their property values have not
increased during the past year.
The Henderson County Com-
missioners Court Monday morning
unanimously adopted a 1983 tax rate of
18.73 cents (per $100 valuation), a .14
cent decrease from last year's rate of
18.87 cents. Precinct 4 Commissioner
Lelland Tarrant was absent from the
meeting due to an unexpected deah in
the family, according to County Judge
Winston Reagan.
County tax assessor/collector Betty
Smith told the court Monday the tax
rate decrease is the result of an
estimated one percent hike in the 1983
county roll of taxable values.
The new tax rate is a 7.90 increase in
the effective tax rate of 17.35 cents. The
effective rate is calculated to generate
the same amount of revenues from the
new tax roll as levied the previous year.
State law allows 10 percent or more of
the electorate to petition for a rollback
election should a taxing entity adopt
more than an eight percent increase of
the effective tax rate.
At an earlier public hearing Judge
Reagan and County Auditor Thomas
Simmons recommended the com-
missioners adopt the new tax rate "to
maintain the county and provide the
services expected of us." (Judge
Reagan)
The new tax rate is expected to
generate approximately $69,000 more
tax revenue than was levied last year
due to the increase in the county tax
roll.
