Tax officials estimate the taxable value for real property in Cumberland County has dropped approximately $560 million, or 2.9 percent from 2016. The decrease means the county faces a potential loss of $4.1 million in tax revenue.
Overall, residential assessed values are down 4.9% percent and commercial assessments are up 4 percent. Approximately 72 percent of the tax base comes from residential properties and 28 percent from commercial and industrial.
County Manager Amy Cannon – “We have some challenges and the best thing we can do is develop some options for the board to consider,” “That could include reducing our expenditures, which may lead to a reduction in county services.”
Another option is adjusting the tax rate. Based on information today, the county would need to raise the tax rate approximately 2 cents to generate the same tax revenue as before the revaluation.
