Property owners in Starke County will pay cumulative bridge and capital development taxes in 2018 after a Monday vote by the county council to reestablish both rates.
The cumulative bridge fund rate is .027 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. Proceeds are earmarked for the replacement of bridges on county roads.
The new cumulative capital development fund rate is .03 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. That money is used for non-budget, big-ticket items like new vehicles, equipment and unanticipated building repairs and maintenance.
The council approved both rates unanimously.
