A proposed tax rate increase has been given tentative approval. This increase is part of a budget process and represents a rise of 9.6%. For some homeowners, the increase could mean an additional cost of around $138 per year, depending on the property's value and exemptions.
The proposed rate is capped and not yet final, with another vote scheduled. A public hearing is set to take place, after which the tax rate may be officially adopted.
Further details about the proposed increase and its potential impact are available, including how it may affect property tax bills.
