โ๏ธ Woods Cross Proposes Property Tax Increase, Public Hearing Set
Woods Cross City is proposing to increase its property tax revenue above the certified tax rate and will hold a Truth in Taxation public hearing where residents can weigh in before the budget is finalized. City documents show the proposal would increase the Woods Cross city portion of taxes on a sample $543,000 home by about $181.58 per year, though the proposal affects only the city portion of a homeowner's overall property tax bill.
This is one of the largest proposed property tax increases in recent years for Woods Cross, and residents have an opportunity to ask questions and provide public comment before the City Council votes. ๐ Read More

Have You Tried a CBD Massage Upgrade? ๐ฟ๐โโ๏ธ
If you've never added CBD to your massage, you might be surprised by the difference it can make.
CBD massage cream is applied directly to areas of tension during your session. Many clients find it helps them relax more deeply, eases muscle soreness, and provides longer-lasting relief after their massage. It's especially popular for tight shoulders, sore backs, overworked muscles, and everyday aches and pains.
One of the things I love most about adding CBD is that it complements therapeutic massage beautifully. As your muscles begin to relax, the CBD helps soothe the tissues I'm working on, making it easier to release stubborn tension and helping you leave feeling even better.
โจ This week only, Bountiful Buzz readers can enjoy a FREE CBD upgrade when you mention this article while booking your massage. We also have several openings available with Alicia, our newest therapist, this Friday and Saturdayโa perfect opportunity to experience both her wonderful therapeutic style and the benefits of CBD.
I'd love to help you discover what the combination of therapeutic massage and CBD can do for your body.
