The Elmore County Commission voted unanimously in favor of a property tax increase to support the school system, public safety, public health and broadband.
The school system currently collects 10 mills in property taxes. The board is asking for 8 mills, but one mill is about to expire. That would make the total 17 mills.
If passed in a special election, the additional 7 mills would bring in about $7 million more a year to the school system. Nine percent of funds would go to Tallassee City Schools. According to the Elmore County school board, for a residential property with an appraised value of $100,000, a property owner can expect to pay $100 more per year in property taxes. Under this proposal, $80 would be invested into the education system, while $20 would be invested in public safety, public health and broadband.
