Did you get your property assessment
increase in the mail? Everybody I discussed it with got a 25% or
better Property APPRAISAL INCREASE. The good news is Blount County
residents can freeze their property taxes if you are over 65 and
income qualified. Alcoa and Maryville residents cannot freeze their property taxes because their City
Councils have not passed the adopting legislation making it possible
since 2007.
The good news is state law says the
County when establishing it's NEW Certified tax rate it must
bring in NO MORE REVENUE THAN IT DID
THE PREVIOUS YEAR. However since the Berong/Mitchell Pay Raise passed without
allowing public comment.
Now just like 4 years ago the Certified
TAX RATE voted on in May must be changed if the UNSUBSTANCIATED and
EXCESSIVE PAY RAISE to 58 percent more EARNINGS than the US Census
Fact Finder workforce tax payer in Blount County, will be paid
by the Berrong /Mitchell Administration.
If you keep your taxes check your last
tax property tax ASSESSMENT of 4 years ago and combine
the two increases and let WBCR know if
your Property Tax Assessment has gone up over 50 percent
in 8 years like ours. Call 984-1470.
The May 7th Budget Committee
meeting will be very important for we should learn what the Certified Tax Rate will be however at the Special
called Blount County School Board meeting of April 15 it was reported
that they would be requesting a 32 cent PROPERTY TAX INCREASE TO
RAISE $11.1 MILLION for the High Schools renovation
projects through Fund 177 that does not share any tax money with the
cities of Alcoa and Maryville.
If you divide 32 cents into $11.1 you
get the value of the penny the School board is using for this request
is $348,875. Compared to $306,000 at the Tax Certification Rate of $
2.11 four years ago. If that is the case that would mean a
14 percent growth in the value of the property tax rate valuation
resulting in a 14 percent reduction the PROPERTY TAX RATE down .37
cents to 2.10 Certified TAX RATE for FY 19/20.
Right back to where it was four years
ago before the Berrong/Mitchell 36 cent property TAX INCREASE TO FUND
PAYING THE PER CAPITA RATE OF COUNTY EMPLOYEES 47 PERCENT MORE THAN
THE 2017 PER CAPITA WORKFORCE TAXPAYER IN BLOUNT COUNTY.
The PARROTED reporting by the Daily
Times quoting the Architects moisture intrusion findings have been
refuted by the on sight inspection with the William Blount Head
Custodian and photographic evidence provided by WBCR to the Director
of Schools.
The industrial dehumidifiers at William
Blount are necessary because the HVAC pipes have not been maintained
properly thus producing water condensation flooding the 50 yard
hallway south of the library and several adjacent classrooms when the AC is running.
According to Architects Agreement
between the School board and Michael Brady, Inc in addition
to a $567 thousand fee for putting the
renovation proposal in writing they are paid 5 and a half percent of
the TOTAL Cost of the Work for Construction Administration, bid
document preparation, and construction documents. Thus the
bigger the project the more they are paid.
If you think this message is important
