Homedale According to the comparison between 2009 and 2010 tax levies, the typical residential property owner in Homedale could pay about $419 less in taxes than 2009, when the bill was $1,155. Endicott described a typical home in the Homedale city limits as a 1,052-square-foot dwelling with a single-car garage. He said the home was probably built in 1979, and the typical 2010 tax- able value was set at $76,238. The value has slid 14.9 percent from a 2009 assessment of $89,545. According to tax levies certifi ed by the Board of County Com- missioners earlier this month, city residential property owners can expect to pay less in taxes (about $736 in 2010 compared to 2009’s bill of $1,155), but a bigger percentage of their taxes will go to support the city. The city will receive $325.62, or 44.2 percent, of the tax revenue from the typi- cal taxpayer. That’s a 6.1 percent increase from 2009. The amount of tax dollars going to the county reduced by more than 50 percent, and 15.3 percent of the total bill will help support county services. The Homedale School District is the next largest taxing district in terms of total support. Thirty percent of a typical property owner’s 2010 tax bill will funnel to the schools, but that’s still a smaller percentage than 2009, when $372.89 of the typical bill went to the district.
Marsing The typical Marsing residential property owner could see an 8.5 percent reduction in property taxes, from $989 a year ago to $905. Endicott said a typical Marsing When notices Next week home is 1,008 square feet built in 1976.

Marsing claimed the second set 25-20 and then failed to fi nish going 25-13, 28-26. “I was disappointed that we couldn’t fi nish what we started in game two. We showed some confidence and just couldn’t finish,” Marsing coach Loma Bittick said. “We let them have a run of seven points in the third, and they got ahead of us 8-5 at that point and we couldn’t come Homedale High School receiver Zac Lowder splits the Payette defense during Friday’s Homecoming game.
