The Henry County Board of Supervisors met on Monday for its annual planning session. County Administrator Dale Wagoner told the group that the county’s new budget is about $5.5 million short.
With recent real estate reassessments skyrocketing, Wagoner said it would take a new tax rate of 48 cents per $100 to generate the additional money.
If approved, that would represent a 31% increase in real estate taxes.
