Scurry County tax collector warns postage hikes will push budget request higher
At a Scurry County budget workshop, the tax collector told commissioners that recent postal-rate increases and high mailing volumes for mineral and property statements likely require increasing the postage line from the $25,000 penciled in to roughly $30,000–$35,000; vendors and discounts mean final costs remain uncertain.

Speaker 6, Unidentified, the tax collector, told Scurry County commissioners that recent postal-rate increases and the county’s heavy mailing load will likely push her office’s postage budget higher than originally requested. "Last year, I spent $20,226," she said. "I set it at $25,000 for this year, but with the postage going up 5¢ and the volume — 98,700 mineral statements and tens of thousands of real estate notices — I think we need to go to $30,000 or more."
