2026-27 Millage Rates
At a glance
- What: property tax rates for 2026-27, set by Ordinances 2026-501, 502 and 503.
- Where it stands: all three passed 16-3 on 2026-09-22: 11.1919 mills (3.93 percent above rolled-back), 7.9012 mills for urban services districts 2 through 4 (6.24 percent above) and 9.4208 mills for district 5 (1.98 percent above). Rates match last year's.
- Dissent: Diamond and Carrico said homeowners with rising values pay more and would have backed a roll-back; neither moved one because they lacked votes.

- Official minutes (2026-09-08, City Council): the additional public hearings on 2026-0501 through 0503 were recorded with tallies of 15-2 (Carrico and Diamond opposed) for 0501 and 0503 and 16-1 (Carrico opposed) for 0502.
