While the breakdown of numbers may often be perplexing to absorb, data gathered by Tallapoosa County Revenue Commissioner Eva Middlebrooks directly affects how much funding supports the county and city school systems.
Last year, the Tallapoosa County Board of Education received $6,017,342.93 from property taxes, and Alexander City Schools Board of Education received $3,924,074.51. With about 1 percent of Tallassee residents actually living in Tallapoosa County, Tallassee Board of Education also received $315,398.42.
