Fayette County to submit 3.763 millage rate for new Notice of Assessment under HB 581
Summary
The county will submit its existing 2024 Maintenance & Operations millage rate of 3.763 for the state-mandated Notice of Assessment; county officials warned the NOA may confuse taxpayers because it may not include special service districts or show rollback estimates consistently.
Chief Finance Officer Sheryl Weinmann told commissioners that state law (HB 581) requires the Assessor's Office to send a new Notice of Assessment (NOA) that includes Maintenance & Operations millage rates for each levying authority. Fayette County decided to provide its existing 2024 M&O millage rate of 3.763 for the NOA rather than an estimated rollback rate.
Weinmann warned that the NOA may confuse taxpayers because it will not include special service districts and jurisdictions that provide an existing millage rate on the NOA may show a dollar‑amount estimated bill; jurisdictions that provide an estimated rollback rate may only show the rate. Either approach may prompt explanatory questions from taxpayers. Commissioner Charles D. Rousseau asked staff to create a simple "cheat sheet" to explain the NOA for residents.
Commissioner Rousseau moved to approve submitting Fayette County's 2024 M&O millage rate of 3.763 for the NOA; Commissioner Charles W. Oddo seconded. The motion passed 5‑0.
