Tax Info

ATTENTION!   Tax Value for Urban Growth Area Residents!

Millions of our tax dollars are leaving our community.  Sales tax, property tax, development fees, and taxes on the sale of our homes and property go to other parts of the county!

Our community is united in many ways. We drive the same roads, use the same lake, go to the same churches, and shop the same stores. But our tax dollars are being spent in other communities. If you want this to stop,    JOIN US!
