Boyd County Fiscal Court approves package of local tax rates, including rise in school district levy
Summary
At a special Aug. 28 meeting, the Boyd County Fiscal Court recorded and approved special-district tax rates to be placed on property tax bills, including a Boyd County School System rate increase to 70.5 cents per $100 assessed value; votes were procedural and carried by unanimous roll calls.
The Boyd County Fiscal Court met in a special session Aug. 28 and approved a series of special-district tax rates and fees to be added to next year's property tax bills.
Presiding Official said the court's role is limited: it records rates submitted by special taxing districts and authorizes their inclusion on tax bills, while only the county (fiscal court) rate is set by the court itself. "All that we do is essentially we just put the seal on it," the Presiding Official said, explaining the process and announcing an upcoming video to explain how tax bills are calculated.
