City Council Lowered the Tax Levy Rate Again.

City News

The City Council approved the tax levy rate for the upcoming fiscal year at its March 22nd meeting. The new levy rate is $11.27250, a $0.35165 reduction from the current rate of $11.62415 per thousand dollars of taxable valuation and the 16th consecutive year in levy rate reduction. The continued decrease is possible through the voter-approved, Local Option Sales and Services Tax (LOSST) and execution of the financial and economic development policies adopted by the City Council that has led to significant valuation increases.
