Video #2: Tax Dollars

All of us that own property and pay taxes in the City of High Springs recently received a estimate of what our tax bills will be this fall. Even while property values have declined the bill may have not decreased - and may have gone up. However, when we examine the bills we can clearly see that City Tax Payers are NOT paying more to the City of High Springs. Where we are paying more is for our schools and to Alachua County.

The City needs to make good use of tax dollars collected. I've participated in the budget workshops for this City for the past three years. I've learned a lot about our budget, the different City Departments, City Staff and services. What I know now will help me be a part of the budgeting process and insure we are making good decisions with your money.
