Here is the problem: People who live outside the city limits of any city or town who are against annexation are just asking for this do to population growth and a rise in crime thanks to a decade of Sheriff You Know Who, the county is going to look at raising taxes. Some county governments will even charge you an unincorporated services fee on your property tax bill if you are right outside a city corporate limit.

Somebody refresh my memory; weren’t the gas tax, the sales tax, and the multiple msbu’s going to avert raising property taxes? Escambia County needs to do what the rest of us are doing, and live within their means.

People, the cost of everything is going up and the value of the dollar is going down. Did anyone here take economics in school? This is called INFLATION. And it ain’t the fault of our local government.

A lot of valid points – bottom line is there are very few things that can be done about the people getting taxed to death – it’s always something. So you vote the halfwits out they will only be replaced with more – Politicians promise us all a change for the good – all politicians lie – ALL OF THEM! As far as the government helping? look at the garbage that’s shoved down our throats on a daily basis.

Why was ONLY the first part of Muscogee road paved again? And why are the commissioners approving driveways for those houses along that section? Anybody else notice this is only a certain area?

The County, Library and Sheriff millage rate has not changed from 2018 as long as this article is accurate. As home owners we received a notice of proposed property taxes in the mail earlier this year.

How about instead of soaking the citizens out of their hard earned money, government tries to LIVE WITHIN THEIR MEANS LIKE WE HAVE TO DO!
