What is the Special Benefits Tax?
The Special Benefits Tax was first collected by the District in 2010, and it applies to each residential and commercial property owner within the District (Morgan, Marion, and Hendricks counties). lt is an ad valorem tax, meaning the tax varies based on the assessed valuation of each property. The Special Benefits Tax is collected as a portion of the annual property tax bill issued by the County Treasurer. The total tax varies in dollar amount each year depending on the projected shortfall in revenues needed to operate the District for the coming year. A home assessed at $100,000 would pay about $140 annually, subject to change.
