Tax Rate Decline

As reported in a post on September 26, the tax rate for District residents in 2019 decreased by 9 cents over the previous year. The current rate is 53 cents per $100 of assessed value. This reduced rate follows a six-year trend of decline in the rates from .80 cents per $100 assessed value in 2014.

As stewards of taxpayer funds, LID 15 Directors continually seek ways to manage the business of the district in the most cost-effective way.

District residents are encouraged to stay tuned to www.fblid15.com for news about the district and follow the “Levee Improvement District 15” Facebook page for updates.
