The city’s truth in taxation notice shows the primary property tax rate remaining at $0.5135 per $100 of assessed value.
Properties in the city currently have a net assessed value of $56.6 million, with $1.4 million of that coming from new construction.
The result is that the city will capture $290,418 from its primary property tax in the coming fiscal year.
