She said she is trying to get the word out about both the delay and tax increases in some areas.
“People can see their bills already online and there are certain parts of the county that they’re just getting sticker shock, or they are going to when they open their bills,” Nix said. “We just want them to be prepared.”
Reynolds’ office did the required reassessment last year and is fighting the state over a mandated average 20% value hike. Taxpayers in Hamilton and West Chester Twp. will see increases for certain because those entities passed new road and safety services levies respectively. The Hamilton School District also made some adjustments to take advantage of the reassessment hike.
“The folks in Hamilton are going to see their tax bills go up and it’s driven by a levy and the action that school board took by modifying their 20-mill floor threshold,” Reynolds said.
