Total property tax, which includes the county treasury collection tax, for the three funds is $53,085,102 as compared with $52,477,342 in 2017-18. The property tax levy for the three funds combined was set at 9.5956 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, up from 9.4302 cents in 2017-18.

Property taxes are based on property valuations for the 25 counties served by CCC, which reported a decrease in total valuation of $325,929,749.
