The mill levies for the 2020 taxes (payable in 2021) have been published.  For the eighth year in a row most tax districts have seen a reduction in the mill levy.  However, the reduction was smaller than it has been in recent years.

Tax District 39 (City of Edgemont) saw a 1% increase in their owner occupied mill levy and a 0.5% increase in non-owner occupied (which includes commercial). The increase was caused by an increase in the city’s portion of the mill levy.  Tax District 6 (City of Hot Springs) had 0% change to the owner occupied mill levy and a 0.3% decrease to the non-owner occupied.  This was an increase in the school mill and a decrease in the city, county and ambulance mills that canceled each other out.

For information on other tax districts please see the full list of mill levies below.
