Council adopts ordinance maintaining current ad valorem tax rate
Summary
Councilmembers voted to adopt an ordinance that preserves Jasper City's current ad valorem/property tax rate; the speaker noted the ordinance contains no increase in taxes or assessing/collecting fees.
JASPER CITY — The Jasper City Council adopted an ordinance levying ad valorem taxes that, according to staff, keeps the city's current property tax rate and does not increase ad valorem or property taxes.
A staff speaker told the council the ordinance had been introduced at the previous meeting and reiterated that there is "no increase in any of your taxes or any of your ad valorem or property taxes." Councilmembers moved, seconded and approved the ordinance on a recorded voice vote in the meeting transcript.
What happens next: The ordinance will remain in effect under the city's existing tax-rate structure; any future changes to the rate would require a later council action.
