Property owners in Starke County will pay cumulative bridge and capital development taxes in 2018 after a Monday vote by the county council to reestablish both rates.

The cumulative bridge fund rate is .027 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. Proceeds are earmarked for the replacement of bridges on county roads.

The new cumulative capital development fund rate is .03 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. That money is used for non-budget, big-ticket items like new vehicles, equipment and unanticipated building repairs and maintenance.

The council approved both rates unanimously.
