The Tallapoosa County Commission was left with no option but to vote to collect a total of 10-mills of property tax for Tallassee City Schools within the Tallapoosa County portion of Tallassee.

Tallapoosa County Revenue Commissioner Eva Middlebrooks told commissioners at its Monday meeting that a constitutional amendment mandates 10-mills be collected for educational purposes.
