Tax Rate Analysis

The proposed tax rate for the 2024 tax year remains unchanged at $0.900000 per $100 of assessed value, identical to last year’s adopted rate. Despite the steady rate, the increase in average residence homestead value from $295,816 to $311,793 means that the average homeowner will see an increase in their annual tax bill.

Key Points:

  • Average Homestead Taxable Value: Increased from $295,816 last year to $311,793 this year.
  • Annual Tax Increase: If the proposed rate is adopted, the tax on an average homestead will increase by $143.80, which is a 5.40% increase compared to the previous year.
