Marion council adopts Ordinance 4084 to levy $100 property tax for fiscal year 2526
Summary
The council unanimously adopted Ordinance 4084 to levy a flat $100 property tax for fiscal year 2526, a technical measure the mayor said preserves the integrity of TIF districts; no changes to rates or exemptions were reported.
The Marion city council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 4084, providing for a $100 levy for fiscal year 2526.
Mayor Absher explained that since the city eliminated a standard property tax, the council has continued to levy a flat $100 as a technical measure related to tax increment financing (TIF) district integrity. "For the last several years since tax year 2020, payable 20, we've levied just a flat $100," the mayor said, adding that most taxpayers do not see a levy but a few may notice a minor line item on their bill.
The mayor moved to approve Ordinance 4084 and the motion was seconded; a roll-call vote recorded unanimous approval. The ordinance was described in the meeting as a procedural levy rather than a change to general tax rates. The transcript does not specify any changes to exemptions, assessments, or the administrative use of the proceeds, nor does it identify any immediate fiscal impact analysis or budget reallocations tied to this flat levy.
