As of October 2014 El Paso County's total obligation of debt was $216,320,000. Total Property tax rate per $100 valuation,fiscal year 2015 adopted tax rate is 0.452694. This raised revenue from property taxes by $5,020,904 an increase of 3.17% from year before. Yep,what is more than a P-)5 million dollar increase for the people of some of the poorest Communities in the United Sates. No big deal right? The only CCC member to vote against this 2015 budget and tax increase was County Commissioner precinct 3 Vincent Perez.Yep that's my dog! The finial budget total for FY 2015 was $311,757,136. Total debt service increased to $20,387,583. The genearal fund stands at $236,323,034. Enterpise fund stand at $2,757,689. Capital projects $2,757,680. County Of El Paso FY 2015 budget Book I-IV www.epcounty.com/auditor/publications/adoptedbudget/adopted%20budget%202015/1/1.htm My question is with the mismanagment at the county, as being report by the media, can we really trust the county with this amount of money,be responsiable to creating such debt on the back of the properity tax payers? I hope I can encourage others to take the time and to read your County's books and what is being done in your name by the CCC. B-|flash
