If the millage rate, county taxing structure and funding sources for county government services aren’t too clear, but you want to learn more, don’t miss the County Taxes and Budget 101 overview at 6 p.m. on Aug. 31 at the McPherson Governmental Complex Auditorium, 601 SE 25th Ave., Ocala.
Join Marion County Commission Chairman Kathy Bryant for an evening discussion on the county’s budget process, this year’s TRIM notice and what taxes fund which services provided by the county. You’ll come away with a better understanding of where funding comes from and how it’s used to provide services that range from fire rescue response and library bookshelves to the Animal Center and parks programs. All residents are invited to attend, participate and learn more about how your local government provides services to its 330,000 residents who call Marion County home.
