Finance Director Cassie Smith presented the proposed Ad Valorem Tax Rate for FY27
of $0.352480. She went on to explain the tax rate has gone up for three reasons:
(1) the taxable property valuation from TAD has gone down (3.09%); (2) the I&S
(Interest and Sinking) portion of the tax rate will finally see the impact of the
Recreation Center and Police and Fire vehicle purchases on the tax rate ($400k);
and (3) a raised M&O (Maintenance and Operation) portion of the City’s tax rate
3.2% ($600k) to fund operations.
Mayor Lindamood stated the increase on a $700,000 home equals an approximate
increase of $20 per month. He also stated the City Council has always said they will
only raise taxes when needed, and the City is purchasing fire and police vehicles,
City Council approved employee compensation and benefits, and the City is fully
staffed, all of which justify the increase.
