the Mosquito Lake Foad area proposed for annexation to

the annex and will provide the facilities and services
needed to protect property and lives in the area.
We understand that county property taxes will be increased

$1.23 per $1000.00 of assessed valuation for the regular
levy and bond issues by the district; unimproved lands
may be exempt under state law if they meet certain conditions.)
