Add results from the two or three tables (as
applicable). Those are your fiscal 2007 and
fiscal 2008 bills. Subtract fiscal 2007 from
fiscal 2008 and divide by fiscal 2007 to get the
overall percentage increase.
Note that this applies just to your county
tax bill. School tax -- which in all
cases is considerably higher -- is in addition
to these sums.
