2027 Property Tax Levy
Summary
The council is settling on a preliminary 2027 levy at its September 22 meeting, with members leaning toward a 9.0% or 8.6% increase. Once set, the number can only shrink before it's finalized — so this is the ceiling on next year's property tax bump.

The preliminary 2027 levy would rise 6.8%, driven mostly by the General Fund, debt service, the NCRC, and communications costs. That could mean higher property tax bills — final numbers aren't set yet.
