Why It Matters
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The State Constitution (Article VII, Section 6) states that “No county shall incur any indebtedness which shall increase its total debt beyond 10% of its assessed valuation.” The lower the debt margin, the more financially healthy a community is.

SEV = State Equalized Value
