By: Magnolia Tribune - October 22, 2015

County nailed for overtaxing

Madison County has collected twice the legal amount in taxes from taxpayers for the South Madison Fire Protection District to the tune of nearly $300,000, an annual audit report from the State Auditor’s Office revealed this week.

The audit, conducted for fiscal year ending September 2014, found that the county levied 4 mills for the Fire District despite being statutorily limited to collect only 2 mills. The collection resulted in $284,017 in excess ad valorem taxes collected.
