Levy Tax rates could change based on the type of soil
and the value of that soil and based on the value of a
home.
There are many different types of soils, our example,
Hoytville Clay, is usually asked about because that is a
very common soil in Henry County.
Soil values are locked in at a value every three years.
The $1.44 cost is an estimate which should not change
much for the next three years.
HOME OWNER AND AGRICULTURAL TAX INFORMATION
For homes valued at $100,000 the levy costs $48 a year
or $4 per month. For each acre of Hoytville soil, the levy
will cost $1.44 a year or $0.12 cents per month.

SELF ADVOCACY
The self-advocacy movement is largely about people with disabilities
speaking up for themselves. A person with a developmental disability may
call upon the support of others, but the individual is entitled to be in control
of and direct his or her own resources. The purpose of self-advocacy is to
exercise the right to make life decisions without unnecessary influence or
control by others.
Our Self-Advocacy Group, the Voices of HOPE, meets
regularly at HOPE Services with an average of
53 people attending.
We currently have 5 graduates from Project STIR
(Steps Towards Independence and Responsibility) that are
actively involved with our group as well as the
statewide advocacy group.
