Preliminary figures have Hall County officials estimating the tax digest has grown between 3 and 5 percent over the last year, numbers that bode well for the county’s 2015 fiscal year budget. That increase is primarily a result of lakefront property tax reassessments, but also because of new construction and what is called “real growth.” Though officials expect general fund revenues to increase only slightly, no tax increases or major budget cuts are likely.
