<span style="font-style: italic"> TOWANDA - The Bradford County commissioners on Thursday passed a $61.2 million county budget for 2013 which includes a 5.9 percent decrease in the county property tax rate.
The millions of dollars in annual revenue that the county has started to receive from the impact fee on gas drilling companies is allowing the county to reduce its property tax rate, county officials said.
"This is a terrific day in Bradford County," said Doug McLinko, chairman of the Bradford County commissioners.
The Bradford County commissioners on Thursday voted unanimously to eliminate the .65-mil portion of the county property tax bill that is used to pay debt service on bonds issued by the county, which amounts to a 5.9 percent reduction in the overall county property tax rate, said Bradford County Fiscal Director Joan Sanderson
