What does a 5.5 mill levy increase on my property taxes mean to my pocketbook?

The first chart shows, based upon your homes value, what increases in property taxes you might expect.

What if I own vacant land or commercial property?

The second and third charts show some vacant lot comparisons as well as some commercial property comparisons to give you an idea of what property tax increases you might expect at a 5.5 mill levy increase.

If the initial formation election in November 2011 to organize the fire district and approve the 5.5 mill levy increase is passed, as a part of the long-term formation process, the Fire District will ask the electors to increase the district mill levy to 10 and the City will reduce its mill levy by 10. This later step will result in no net increase in taxes to the resident.
