Madison County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman James Arrington cast the board’s lone no vote on whether or not to pass the new $37.7 million budget—which is more than $3 million more than last year’s. He argued repeatedly against increases, noting some residents even have to sell off property to pay soaring county taxes.
Later this year, most Madison County residents will be forced to fork over more money to cover their tax bills. The board of supervisors recently approved a 10 percent increase of the equalized real estate rate – bringing it to 44 cents per $100 of assessed value.
