Council approves corrected millage rate of 24.8402 mills after last-minute county update
Summary
The City of Taylor council amended and approved the proposed property tax levy to reflect a corrected millage rate of 24.8402 mills after the county provided an updated equalization factor, a 0.0001 change from the published figure.
The City of Taylor council amended and adopted the proposed property tax levy to a corrected rate of 24.8402 mills on April 23, 2026, after members noted the figure on the published agenda (24.8392) differed from the county's updated equalization number.
Council moved to amend agenda Item 4.4 to replace the published 24.8392 with the corrected 24.8402. A council member explained the change was driven by the county's equalization factor and small veteran-exemption adjustments; the change amounted to a 0.0001 difference. The amendment carried by voice vote, after which the council voted on the amended motion and the chair announced "Motion carried."
The budget director provided technical context during discussion, saying the assessing office initially calculated a factor of "0.09928" and the county later submitted an equalization factor of "0.09929," producing the slight difference in the millage calculation. The council proceeded to approve the amended millage rate by voice vote.
