Escambia Commission Reduces Taxes, Approves County Budget, Sheriff’s Budget
September 19, 2008
Your Escambia County property taxes are headed down with the budget approved Thursday night by the Escambia County Commission.
Commissioners approved the county’s $391.6 million budget with a millage rate at 6.9755 mils. That’s a decrease from 8.017 mils. That equates to about $104 on a $100,000 piece of property without an exemptions.
Commissioners Kevin White and Mike Whitehead pushed for greater cuts, but a Whitehead motion to cut the budget even more failed 3-2.
The commission also approved the sheriff’s annual budget at $79 million, with White voting against it in favor of more cuts.
The millage rate set for the county’s law enforcement was reduced from 0.719 mils to 0.685, or about $34 on a $100,000 home with no exemptions.
