    Here we go again, Teardrops!
    Fair market Value down by $ 3,240 on the plus side, however total tax to be paid for 2010 tax year up by $ 111.12, go figure, I did! Nine out of the 10 taxing districts levies had increases which total amounted to a combination rate increase of .28 cents to a total of $ 7.5163 per 100 dollars of assessment. On the plus side the School District levy actually dropped by 19/1000 from 4.2565 to 4.2551.
    However just take a look at the distribution of each dollar by the county.
