On November 23, 2020 I received word that the growth report (with utilities) was ready to use for calculating tax levies.
The report is broken down into two segments. The first is the report for the County as a while, the school districts and the fire districts. Only the Polo Fire District has taxing authority. All other fire departments negotiate with the townships for support.
The Tax Incremental Finance (TIF) District is also attached to this report. That portion only applies to the Harrold Terminal in Miller Township an used solely for the purposes of the TIF.

The second segment contains the growth data for the Towns and Townships. It does not include the unorganized townships because they are part of what is called “Secondary Roads” which is included in the first segmented report.
