Below is Tax data compiled from Jasper, Clark, Clay, Effingham and Cumberland counties. Each of the
same type of taxing body is listed with the highest taxing at the top of each list. To give perspective of
how much the difference is the "%of lowest rate" at the right compares the individual taxing body to the
lowest one in the 5 county area, for instance Newtons Municipal tax is 852% of the lowest municipal
tax rate in the 5 county area. The data is for taxes for the year 2017, payable in 2018.
I originally wanted to compare Jasper to every county surrounding Jasper but Richland and Crawford
do not have the data available online
