YOUR PROPERTY TAXES JUST WENT UP. OR HADN’T YOU HEARD? When local governments want to increase tax revenues, they are required to publish notices in the newspaper so that you will know. But that right to know could disappear. Local governmental entities across the state want to hide their public notices on little seen, rarely visited government websites. What you don’t know will affect you personally!
If it is not in the newspaper, you won’t know about it.
