Annually, before December 31st, we must adopt the resolution to impose the property tax for the coming year. Each taxing unit must be notified prior to that date as to whether we will collect 50% or 100% of our taxes. At this time we are collecting 100% in the summer, which has been the case for the ISD since 1993.
