Summary
At a Sept. 5, 2024 public hearing, Judge Executive William Dakota Young read Caldwell County's proposed 2024 real property tax rate of 10.0 cents per $100 and accompanying revenue estimates; no members of the public spoke and the meeting was adjourned on a motion by Magistrate Jeff Simms.
Judge Executive William Dakota Young opened a Sept. 5, 2024 public hearing in Caldwell County and read the county's current, proposed and compensating real property tax rates and revenue estimates. "The 2023 real property tax rate was 10.0 cents per $100 of assessed valuation and produced approximately $558,154.85," Young said, adding that "the proposed 2024 real property tax rate is 10.0 cents per $100 of assessed valuation and is expected to produce $589,051.48," while the compensating rate is 9.80 cents and is expected to produce $577,270.45.
Young also read the projected revenue from new property in 2024 ($4,416.76) and expected personal property revenue ($131,098.98), and stated that any revenue received in the current year in excess of the preceding year's revenue "shall be allocated to the general fund for general County purposes, including infrastructure improvements." County Clerk Jennifer Hale conducted roll call at the start of the hearing; Road Supervisor David Waldrum was noted as absent.
After the reading, Young opened the floor for public comment and discussion; no one spoke. Magistrate Jeff Simms moved to adjourn the meeting and Magistrate Jeff Boone seconded; the motion carried and the hearing concluded without any formal vote recorded on adopting a tax rate at that session. The county did not receive public comments or requests for further discussion during this hearing, and no amendments or alternative rates were proposed on the record.
