Proposed Tax Levy Hearing Information
This is the hearing notice for the proposed tax levy. The major difference between last year and the proposed year is the debt service which includes the payment for the loan for the Keystone Bridge. For a property with a taxable valuation of $100,000 they will see an increase of about $193 from the City’s levy.
For the budget process for FY 26 (July 1, 2025-June 30, 2026) the state requires the County Auditor to mail information to each property owner.
