A public hearing was held regarding the establishment of the property-tax rate in Saline County during the meeting of the county commission on Tuesday, September 4.
Nobody showed up to object, so the commission voted to approve the proposed rates on real and personal property per $100 of assessed valuation.
For general revenue, the rate is 13.25 cents; for special road & bridge it is 35 cents; for common road, the rate is 23.89 cents; and for common road temp it is 35.13 cents; 5.61 cents for Senate Bill 40 and 40 cents for countywide tax on subclass3 property to replace the M&M surtax.
It was pointed out that not all taxes pertain to every property within the county.
These rates have been set to produce the revenues, which the budget for the fiscal year- January 1-December 31, 2019- shows to be required by the assessed valuation.
