Tax levy shift - The gradual shift from a winter tax levy to a summer tax levy will occur as follows: In 2005, 1/3 of the county's allocated mills will be levied in the summerIn 2006, 2/3 of the county's allocated mills will be levied in the summer. In 2007, and each year after, all of the county's allocated mills will be levied in the summer Payments All you need to do is send in the top portion of the tax statement with your check or money order to the Treasurer’s Office.
