The Anderson County Fiscal Court on Tuesday approved a slight increase to its property tax rate and took the first steps in merging it tourism authority with the City of Lawrenceburg.
Only Magistrate Rodney Durr voted against the increased property tax rate, which will go from $1.29 per $1,000 in assessed real estate value to $1.30.
Judge-Executive Orbrey Gritton recommended the increase, which was approved by magistrates Kenny Barnett, David Montgomery, Meredith Lewis, Juretta Wells and Mike Riley.
