Carbon County leaders rethinking 707% tax increase after outrage
“After hearing from residents reeling from sticker shock over two potential tax hikes — including one of more than 700 percent — Carbon County officials are pumping the brakes on the proposed increases. . . One of the proposals seeks a 707 percent increase to the county’s municipal services levy, which would generate more than $2.1 million in revenue from county residents living outside incorporated cities. The hike would increase taxes on a $154,000 residence from about $24 to nearly $198, according to the tax notice issued by the county.
The other would be a $400,000, 45 percent increase to the county’s assessing and collecting levy, revenue that is used to assess and collect taxes for all taxing entities in Carbon County.”
