High Plains Water Conservation District Board Lowers Tax Rate

During their meeting today, the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District Board of Directors unanimously voted to adopt the 2011 tax rate of $0.00776 per $100 in property value for operation and maintenance. This makes the second year in a row the tax rate has been lowered. Under the new rate, a person with $100,000 in property value pays $7.76 to the Water District. Although rates have been lowered, some residents may see a slight rise in what they owe due to an increase in their property value.
