DLGF 2008 Budget Hearings
Keeping taxpayers informed of the impact of tax rate and assessed values changes is an important role of the DLGF. With the onset of the annual adjustment process and the many changes to property tax law, this job is more important now than ever before.
As such, the DLGF has instituted a process that will -- for the first time ever -- provide taxpayers with proposed tax rates during the DLGF Budget Hearing. By statute, the hearings are held after the receipt of the certified assessed values to ensure that the local taxpayers have the most accurate information available about the tax rates. The information provided below will show taxpayers how their tax rate has changed from 2007 to 2008. By providing comparison charts on individual taxing units and taxing districts, taxpayers will be able to see which unit of government has increased or decreased their tax rate.
Please note: the certification of tax rates and issuance of the budget shortly follows the budget hearing, depending on any action required as a result of the hearing. If no action is required, the tax rates can be issued promptly.
Below is a listing of county and date of the budget hearing. If a county is not currently listed, they have either not submitted their certified assessed values or the DLGF Budget Division is in the process of setting a date and the information will be available soon. Check back often for updates to this list.
