Christian Fiscal Court approves lowered tax rates on second-reading

Christian Fiscal Court held a special-calling meeting Friday morning where they approved the tax rates for the fiscal year.

The rates approved on second-reading were 18.1 cents per $100 of assessed value for both real estate and tangible property, which reflects a slight decrease in both, down from 18.2 cents on the property rate and 18.6 cents on tangibles.

County Attorney Lincoln Foster read the tax ordinance, saying the rates could generate a projected revenue of $8.3 million for the county.
