Public hearing on proposed 2025 tax rate: officials say rate unchanged, assessed-value growth will raise revenue
Summary
At a public hearing held under CASRS 132-0027, the hearing facilitator said the 2025 tax rate did not change but that a roughly 4% rise in assessed property values will increase revenue; one resident requested clarification and no written comments were filed.
An unidentified hearing facilitator said the city’s proposed tax rate for 2025 did not change, but that an approximate 4% rise in assessed property values will increase revenue for the coming year.
The facilitator opened the hearing “pursuant to CASRS 132-0027 to obtain written and oral comments regarding the 2025 proposed tax rate,” and invited public remarks. A resident asked for an explanation, saying, “Is this the typical thing where you raise it every year and as long as it's not over 4% total, there's, like, no — yeah.”
Responding to that question, the facilitator said, “The the tax rate, as I understand, did not change. It is always the same. But what it is is the 4% is actually gonna increase our revenue. That's what it's doing.” The facilitator and resident exchanged brief clarifications about assessed values and revenue impact; the resident acknowledged the explanation.
The facilitator checked for written comments, announced none had been received, and closed the public hearing after no other speakers came forward.
No formal votes or motions on the tax rate were recorded in the transcript; the proceeding was a public comment session under the cited statute.
