City commissioners discussed approaches to the 2027 budget on Tuesday, including whether to maintain the proposed mill levy after the county’s assessed property valuation figures came in lower than expected. The current budget proposal would increase the average homeowner’s property taxes by 6.7%.
City manager Danielle Dulin maintained her recommendation to keep the city’s mill levy at 54.506, allowing the city government to capture more revenue from property value growth and direct it toward the bond and interest fund.
A mill represents $1 in taxes for every $1,000 in assessed, taxable property value.
