Commissioner’s Update from page 1

Non-ad valorem assessments are not based on property
values but are fixed fees per household or business.
Understanding your tax bill is important because it
helps you know which authority sets the millage and
who has jurisdiction over various services. For example,
school-related questions should be directed to the school
board, while library-related questions should go to the
library authority.
I often get asked why residents in a municipality
still pay taxes to the county. The answer varies slightly
by municipality, but generally, the county provides
many essential services that benefit all residents. These
services include managing four airports, a water utilities
department, road and bridge maintenance, stormwater
management, environmental resources and a parks and
recreation department overseeing over 110 parks in both
municipal and unincorporated areas.
So, the next time you receive your tax bill, remember
that I am here to be a steward of your tax dollars and
a watchdog to ensure that the funds collected are used
efficiently and effectively.
