Public Hearing:
a.
Millage Rate for Tax Year 2026; Fiscal Year 2027
Budget & Purchasing Manager Nancy Rodriguez presented information regarding the
proposed millage rate for Tax Year 2026 and Fiscal Year 2027. The FY2027 Budget was
developed using a millage rate of 3.247 mills. Based on the tax digest, maintaining the
millage rate at 3.247 mills would constitute a 1.82% tax increase and would result in an
estimated increase of $11.02 annually, or approximately $0.91 per month, for an average
homestead property valued at $475,000. If the millage rate were rolled back to 3.189 mills,
the City would lose approximately $54,000 in revenue. To maintain the same tax revenue
received in Tax Year 2025, the millage rate would need to be set at 3.233 mills, which
would constitute a 1.38% tax increase.
