  County Auditor reveals tax rates for coming year web posted October 7, 2009 EDGEFIELD – Edgefield County Auditor Bill Gilchrist presented the county council with the proposed millage rates for the coming year tax bills. The overall millage rate increased by 9.59 mills with 9.3 mills being directly related to increases in the School District millage rate which the county council has no control. “They pretty much set their own millage rate,” Gilchrist said. The County millage rate increases a mere .29 mills. The total rate on the tax bills will be 322.11 mills. Roughly a $38.36 increase on a home valued at $100,000. Mr. Gilchrist said the sales tax credit would bring a personal home taxes down by $33.20 making the actual increase only $5.16.
