Public Hearing -
Loudon County Budget Committee Meeting
June 22, 2011 (Wednesday)
6:00 PM, Courthouse Annex, Loudon
As per State Law T.C.A. 5-12-108, the Loudon County Budget Committee will hold a Public Hearing at which time any citizen of the county shall have the right to appear and state such views on the fiscal budget (FY-11-12).
The Budget Committee is comprised of Budget Chair Mayor Herron, and Commissioners Yarbrough, Miller, Franke, and Shaver.
The Budget Committee is recommending a 20 cent property tax hike, which will increase from $1.5869 to $1.7869 per $100 of assessed property value. But, if the majority of commissioners vote to tack on more spending, this will lead to a higher property tax hike.
How will this proposed tax hike impact your budget during this economic recession?
Without your help, Loudon County property owners face a big tax hike for spending and proposed new long term debt. Please voice your concerns NOW--before Commissioners raise your next year's property taxes.

Special Called Commission Meeting
COMMISSION’S VOTE ON TAX HIKE
June 30, 2011 (Thursday)
6:00 P.M. Courthouse Annex, Loudon
Loudon County Commission is scheduled to meet and adopt the proposed FY 11-12 budget, and set the property tax rate.
A 20 cent tax hike is proposed, which will bring the rate from $1.5869 to $1.7869 per $100 assessed property value.
But, if the majority of commissioners vote to tack on more spending, this will lead to a higher property tax hike.
Please share the meeting dates and proposed 20 cent tax hike news with your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc.
E-mails are good to send, but phone calls are even better--leaving a voice mail is the usual way commissioners hear from you if you call them--they do pay attention to your messages. A brief statement on voice mail is good--"NO new property taxes," and give your name to identify that you are a property owner in their district. EVERY contact they get makes a huge difference in their decision making. Thanks for your help in a matter of great importance to us all.
