Henderson, Kaufman Counties officials' deliberate tax rates




The Kaufman County Commissioners Court will consider raising property taxes by 1.25 cents per $100 valuation at its Sept. 19 meeting for the 2016-2017 budget year.

The court proposed the increase to pay for repayment of transportation bonds voters approved for ongoing road improvements.

The proposed rate would be 58.87 cents per $100 valuation. The current rate is 57.62 cents. The effective tax rate, the amount needed to raise the same amount of revenue as generated last year would be 54.97 cents.

The total budget for the 2016-2017 year is $41.4 million.

Henderson County’s Commissioners Court approved a 47.8 cents per $100 valuation rate recently for its $36 million 2016-2017 budget. The new rate is equal to last year’s rate, and it is slightly below the effective tax rate.

The effective tax rate for Henderson County would be 48 cents per $100 valuation.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 17)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.00 feet at pool. Hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The Hybrids and Whitebass have started schooling in water from 6-14 feet at the dam and any wind blown shallow point or seawall. Late evening schooling action is also happening in shallow coves and points throughout the lake. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 8-16 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service.
