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 (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 85 degrees; 0.26 feet above pool. Big numbers of white bass and several trophy-class hybrid stripers have hit the deck. We are consistently finding the best action in 15–22 feet of water. Good go-to setups include a variety of slabs, sometimes paired with 2–3 jigs above, and the always-reliable yellow bladed jig using the proven saw tooth retrieve technique. Trolling spoons at 3 mph in 13–17 feet of water absolutely crushed the white bass. Water temperatures are currently holding around 83 degrees and will continue to rise as summer heats up over the next couple of weeks. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Fishing patterns remain consistent. Catfish are good anchoring on humps in 12-24 feet using small shad or cut shad on the bottom, or drifting larger cut carp, drum or big gizzard shad on flats in 10-25 feet all around the lake. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
