Last year’s tax rate was 52.2 for real estate and 54.5 for personal property.

Total revenue received was $6,652,614. Breakdown: Property $5,350,072 PSC $1,187,302; Delinquent $115,240

There are a couple of options each year. The first is to take the compensating rate, which is the rate that when applied to the current year’s property assessment produces an amount of revenue equal to the
revenue we received last year. The second option is the 4% revenue increase, which will produce 4% more revenue than the compensating rate.

The compensating rate for real estate is 50.3. The compensating rate for personal property is 54.5. The compensating rate would generate $6,923,813.

The 4% revenue increase rate for real estate is 52.3. The 4% revenue increase rate for personal property is 54.5. The 4% increase as listed above would generate $7,154,411. The difference between the compensating and 4% revenue increase would be $230,598.

District Finance Officer recommendation is to take the 4% revenue increase as listed above. This would bring in around $230,000 more revenue compared to last year. The real estate rate would go from 52.2 to 52.3 and the personal property tax rate would stay the same.

Order #40 - Motion Passed:  Set the Tax Rates for 2023-2024 at 52.3 Cents per $100 Assessed Value for Real Property, 54.5 Cents per $100 Assessed Value for Personal Property, 54.2 Cents per $100 Assessed Value for Motor Vehicles and 3% for Utility Tax passed with a motion by Ms. Christine Killen and a second by Mr. Marvin Wilson.
