Tax Bills have arrived for Quarter 1 2009

The first Quarter Tax Bills have arrived for Fiscal Year 2009. The breakdown is 45.38% for Municipal taxes versus 54.62% Non-Municipal for the County and the School taxes.



















What is interesting to note is that the last tax bill that went out had the components of the tax broken out into the three areas, city, county and school. Why does the current bill only show Municipal vs. Non-Municipal? As a taxpayer I would like to know what percentage goes to the schools vs. county. There was also no breakout for the county and municipal open space tax like there was on the last bill. Keeping it consistent is a service to the taxpayer.

My current total bill for just the one quarter is about the same divided by two since the last bill covered two quarters 3rd and 4th. Note: the percentage of Municipal taxes in the Q3 and Q4 2008 tax bill was less coming in at 41.26% of the total bill.


















Here is the memo from Dave Roberts that came with the tax bills:
