The format we are using is slightly different than the preliminary certification format, as the Department of Revenue has designated the present format to use. If you have previously held your budget hearings and public hearings on your millage and certified the millage, it will not be necessary to re -do this unless you used our earlier figures and now find that there is a change by the adjustment in the total value. According to State law, all taxing bodies other than the County Commission and the School Board will have 15 days to certify their tax rates (millage) from the date the Board of Tax Adjustment adjourns. The Board adjourned on August 28, 1973, so all tax districts other than the County Commission and School Board should have their millage certified no later than September 12. The County Commission and the School Board, by State law, have 30 days to certify their millage, which would be September 27 for these two bodies. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call upon us. DLR /sh " Encl. Si ncereVI e� • r DAVI L.
