Orange County commissioners are talking about a proposed $100 million bond for schools and a jail. The discussion comes as Assistant Manager Clarence Grier described the county’s finances as being “in a good financial position, a good budgetary position, in going forward.”

The debt on the bond would roughly equal 4.18 cents on the county’s current tax rate of 85.8 cents per $100 in property value, Grier said. The increase in the tax bill on a house valued at $250,000 would be $104.50.

The commissioners could talk again about a bond referendum March 11.

Get ready.
