A public hearing will be at 6:30pm on Tuesday, August 22 at the Bates County Health Center, which is located at 501 North Orange Street in Butler, for the purpose of receiving citizen input on the proposed property tax rates to be set by the Bates County Health Center. The proposed property tax rates will be used for the purpose of producing revenues which are required to operate the Bates County Health Center during the 2018 fiscal year.
The tax rate is determined by dividing the amount of revenue required by the current assessed valuation. The result is multiplied by 100, so the tax rate will be expressed in cents per $100 valuation.
