Chaffins stated last week that that there were no cuts expected in this year’s budget.

The tax rates are also set so on-time property tax bills can be produced. According to the Department of Local Government Finance, the county auditor will now calculate tax bills, which the county treasurer should mail to taxpayers no later than April 13, 2018. The spring installment is due May 10.
