Property tax funding

[Ladder5B]

I'm curious so I guess I will ask. For departments that are funded from property taxes: What % is your budget compared to the total property tax rate (County tax, state tax, school corporation, poor relief,etc.) Please indicate if you are volunteer (how many members), combination (# of total members, # of career), career (# of employees). I hope this makes sense. For example: Our total property tax bill is approx. $2.61 per hundred of assessed valuation. Our fire protection budget comprises only 3.5% of that. To me that sounds a lot lower than the national average. What is yours?

not sure exactly the percent of the total we are but this year our levy dropped from.02625 per $100 to .02150 per $100, this is due to a nice little law known as the Hancock Amendment. In other words when the count re-assesses property values our funding does not increase,,the rate adjust so that we receive basiclaly the same amount each year.
