Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current budget?

Define adopted tax rate

It is the property tax rate approved by the governing body to fund operations for the upcoming year. The approved tax rate is 0.495726 per $100 valuation for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

Define no-new-revenue rate

It is the tax rate that would generate the same amount of property tax revenue as in the previous year with the same properties listed on both tax rolls. A standard rule of thumb suggests an inverse relationship between effective rate and taxable value. For example, if the taxable value INCREASES, the effective rate goes down (and vice versa).

The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that the City may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate.
