General Budget Information;
FY 2012 Budget
The FY 2012
adopted budget reduced the tax rate to $1.07/$100 of assess
value. This is a $0.02 reduction from the FY2011 rate. The
average taxpayer could see a modest decrease in their tax bill this year,
though some areas of Hunter Mill district have experienced a small
increase due to the increase in their homes' value.
FY 2012 Adopted Budget information
This year, I asked several Hunter Mill residents to participate in the Hunter Mill District Advisory Budget Committee. They were tasked with coming up with recommendations on this year's budget proposal. Their REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS can be read here.
