While some area county governments and school boards have approved or are close to approving their property tax millage rates, White County is lagging behind.
During the county commission meeting on Tuesday, White County Commission Chair Travis Turner said they are still waiting on final tax digest information. He noted that Tax Commissioner Cindy Cannon received information from the tax assessor’s office last Friday.
“This is uncommon for us not to have already started advertising dates for any upcoming millage rate hearings and or meetings,” said Turner.
It could be as late as August before commissioners adopt a millage rate for this year.
Said Turner, “I’m sorry, that’s the best we can do because it’s the hand we’ve been dealt with by the assessor’s office currently.”
