Commissioners on Thursday took the final steps in approving a budget that will mean a 5% increase in county property taxes for the average homeowner.
Under this budget, the owner of a $100,000 property who paid $516.45 in taxes last year would pay $542.15 on the property, now valued at $105,000, based on the average valuation increase of an existing, single-family home.
