City Council - Apr 28, 2026
The city adopted a $927.5 million budget while keeping the levy rate flat at $16.66 per thousand — a typical $200,000 homeowner could see about $97 less in city taxes. The budget is balanced without reserves and includes $361 million in capital projects.
City Council (Special) - Mar 24, 2026
The city is keeping its property tax rate flat at 16.65 for next year, with revenue rising to $130.4 million from valuation growth. Your bill can still go up if your assessment rose — that's driven by home sales prices and the state rollback, not the city's rate. Assessment appeals run late April through early May.
