Properties in Ellettsville within Bean Blossom Township had the second highest tax rate at $2.2131 per $100, and properties in Ellettsville in Richland Township had the third highest rate at $2.2100 per $100.
Tax districts in the Richland-Bean Blossom Community School Corp. have had higher tax rates for the past few years as the school district repays two $10 million bonds for renovations and repairs to school buildings.
Last year, all other 15 tax districts had tax rates under $2 per $100 of assessed value. But this year, tax units that include the city of Bloomington — which is divided between the Bloomington Township, Perry Township, Van Buren Township and Richland Township — had tax rates higher than $2 per $100.
Washington Township had the lowest tax rates in Monroe County for the second year, at $1.1929 per $100.
