As of last Monday, the DeKalb County Trustee’s Office had collected 96.46% of the $8.5 million in 2015 county property taxes to be collected for the year. That includes property, residential commercial, personal, and public utility taxes.
“We are at 96.46% collected for 2015 taxes and that is out of $8.5 million to collect. We’re a little over $300,000 still to be collected but close to 97% in June is very good for the county. Some of you always ask about the year before and where we’re at is 95.94% on this day in 2015. We gained from more assessment money coming in during 2015 plus the tax rate increase,” said Trustee Sean Driver in addressing the county commission Monday, June 27.
The county’s tax base for 2015 expanded to $8,578,328, an increase of $835,000 over the previous year’s tax base of $7.7 million dollars.
