Cedar Creek Lake counties see increases in taxable property values




The Henderson and Kaufman Counties Commissioners Courts and most other taxing entities’ officials will enjoy more latitude in budget decisions for the 2017-2018 fiscal year.

The Henderson County Appraisal District announced a 3.56 percent increase in total taxable value. The total taxable value rose to almost $6 billion.

Kaufman County's Appraisal District announced a 13 percent increase with the total taxable value reaching $8 billion.

In adjacent Van Zandt County the total taxable value remained stagnant except for increases in a few spots.

Most taxing entities, including school districts and cities, will realize increases in revenues at the current tax rates. Officials could lower tax rates or choose to expand budgets.

The taxable value increases in Henderson and Kaufman Counties follow the same trend seen in Dallas and Tarrant counties and their surrounding counties, but the DFW area values rose more dramatically.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 24)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.40 feet above 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.
