Attention all Kaufman 1B residents. The Board of Directors would like to make you aware of an upcoming rate increase that you will notice on your next bill. The Board of Directors are aware of the increased burden associated with higher tax rates and have actively worked over the past decade to keep rates as low as possible for the benefit of the residents. However, due to cost increases and maintenance improvement needs the decision has been made to increase the tax rates to an appropriate amount, allowing these present needs to be met.
