[quote=Anonymous]Ugh, I worked in a county board office in the early 2000s and had to explain tax rates to people constantly. Sadly, people still don’t get it. Not surprising, but frustrating all the same. Interesting to hear that Fairfax actually gave their own reduction while the state reduction was not as good as previous years. The value of houses and cars have skyrocketed. Tax rates tend to get reduced a bit in times like these, yet the cost for county services are not going down, either. The county has to find the balance between tax rate reduction yet still bringing in enough revenue to, I don’t know, pay and retain teachers (more than 50% of county taxes fund the schools)? Yes, I hate paying car taxes and I hate our mortgage payment going up. It sucks. But, I also don’t want the county to cut services. And this isn’t Jersey, thankfully [/quote]
