Some observations without knowing much about the budget:
- Income from property taxes would make up 23% of County revenue in the coming year, up from 21% of revenue in the current budget cycle.
- The overall size of the County budget is proposed to decline -- from $310M to $298M.
- The real estate tax rate is proposed to increase by 7%, from $0.60 to $0.64 per $100 of assessed value. More details here.
