A/B - Both have modifier error.
C - raised X by Y% is right - raised and increase are redundant
D - doesn't make sense, it is too awkward. Object of the sentence is missing in this.

Hoping to alleviate some of the financial burdens of a growing population, who did what - The county government raised property taxes - this is the intended meaning.

Hence E.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

D) the county government last year raised by eleven percent property taxes
--> last year seems to modify county government. last year should modify the action raised
E) the county government raised property taxes by eleven percent last year
--> correct

Ask yourself what what raised? It was property taxes. Put the noun in the sentence before you start to describing it.

"raised by eleven percent property taxes" does not make any sense. Whatever was raised should come before the measurement "A raised B by C"
Premise: If you like my post
Conclusion : Press the Thanks Button ;)
