Council approves renewal of existing property tax mills for city and schools
Summary
Opelika’s City Council voted May 6 to re-levy existing ad valorem taxes: a renewal of 10 city mills and 24 mills for the public school system; officials said this is a renewal, not a new tax.
The Opelika City Council approved a resolution May 6 to renew existing ad valorem property taxes levied within the city. The resolution re-levies 10 mills that support the City of Opelika and 24 mills that support the public school system.
A city presenter described the item as “not a new tax” but as a renewal of existing levies. The council voted to approve the resolution during the regular meeting.
Why it matters: Property tax levies fund municipal operations and local schools. Renewal preserves existing revenue streams; the measure does not change the millage rates.
