WASHINGTON CO. COMMISSIONERS TO PROPOSE TAX RATES FOR COUNTY, PECAN GLEN ROAD DISTRICT

  

Washington County Commissioners will look to propose property tax rates for the county and the Pecan Glen Road District at their meeting on Tuesday.

According to Commissioner Kirk Hanath, the court’s proposed tax rate for the county in the upcoming fiscal year will remain unchanged from the existing rate at $0.3840 per $100 valuation.  The current makeup of the rate is $0.2975 for maintenance and operations (M&O), $0.0790 for road and bridge, and $0.0075 for interest and sinking (I&S). 

In a public meeting for the Pecan Glen Road District, commissioners will seek to propose a tax rate of $0.284546 per $100.  The proposed rate is less than the presently adopted rate of $0.297725.

Other regular session business for commissioners will include an amendment to the county’s interlocal cooperation contract with the DPS Crime Lab, possibly hiring an executive administrative assistant for a pay rate exceeding the 6 percent allowable amount in accordance with county policy, and acting on a salary exceeding the 6 percent allowable increase for the new Human Resources Director, Amber Skalka.
