Tax notice clarification for the portion of Sheldon in O'Brien County

In the tax bills that came out this week for the O’Brien County portion of Sheldon, it shows Sheldon’s taxes increased by 837.34%. It should be 1.65%. There was an extra zero inadvertently added by the County in the information section of the statement, which said the stated intake increased by $18,035,470 instead of by $35,470. This will raise blood pressures, but please note the levies and the bills themselves are correct.

The circled number in the enclosed graphic should say $2,189,359 and not $20,189,359. The percent increase should say 1.65% and not 837.34%. We are sorry for the confusion this has caused, and again, the bills themselves are accurate.
