Cities and schools aren’t the only taxing entities that set property tax rates ahead of this November’s tax bills.
Sewer districts, fire districts, ambulance districts, a single hospital district, libraries and college districts all have locked in their rates which will likely be approved by the Franklin County commission, following approval from the state auditor’s office, later this month.
The following are the levies the districts adopted for this year and their rates from 2011, reflected as per $100 of assessed valuation:
