Logan officials propose 3% property tax increase, flag large utility transfers and $10 million notice for Public Works building

Logan City staff presented a draft budget at a May 2025 workshop proposing a roughly 3% increase in the city's property tax levy, continued transfers from utility funds into the general fund, and a formal notice that a transfer of about $10 million could be required if the city proceeds with a new Public Works building.

The city's budget overview, led by Rich (staff member), framed the property-tax change as a modest, year-over-year step to support library and general-fund services: "We are proposing a 3% property tax increase," Rich said, adding that the portion that relates to Logan City is approximately 16% of a full property tax bill and that the net effect to many taxpayers would be about 1% of their total tax bill. He said final figures will be available after June 8.
