NO - that is not the tax increase. It is the MAXIMUM potential tax increase.

The tax increase… “is capped at one (1) mill which is equivalent to $1 for every $1,000 of the assessable value of residential and commercial properties. This would mean the Board could levy 0 mills or any millage in between to a maximum of 1 mill.”

Theoretically, the county tax should be reduced, since they are not providing fire and EMS service.

A few hundred dollars is a bargain compared to a 45 minute wait for an ambulance.
