Property owner celebrates with State Rep Suzanne Crouch

The TriStateHomepage.com reports the decrease in property taxes in Vanderburgh County. 

Republican State Representative Suzanne Crouch celebrated with one property owner today, who will pay almost half of what she did last year.

Barbara Hansen was pleasantly surprised to find that her property tax bill is down from 1,044 dollars to 581, a 44 percent cut. "That's a very good thing because with the price of gasoline going up , food, utility bills, it's nice to get a little break on our taxes to put a little few extra bucks in our pocket." The property tax relief package the general assembly passed this year will result in an average tax cut of 38 percent in Vanderburgh County. Statewide the figure is 30 percent. "The taxpayers spoke. The legislature listened and now the taxpayers are getting the benefit of that."
