埃尔帕索县专员批准增加14%的财产税,将新税率定为每100美元的财产价值45.8美分。 El Paso County commissioners approved a 14% property tax increase, setting the new rate at 45.8 cents per $100 of property value. 这一决定是在一次4-1的投票中作出的,支持者以财政压力和没有经费的任务作为导致这一大幅攀升的原因。 The decision was made in a 4-1 vote, with supporters citing financial pressures and unfunded mandates as reasons for the hike. 预计这一增长将使平均房主每年额外花费137美元,即每月11.48美元。 The increase is expected to cost the average homeowner an extra $137 annually, or $11.48 monthly. 批评者认为,县本可以削减未经授权的方案或使用储备,而不是提高税收。 Critics argue that the county could have cut non-mandated programs or used reserves instead of raising taxes.
