Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance approves the property tax levy for FY24. Section 6.07 of the Metropolitan Charter provides that the Council’s next order of business upon adopting the annual operating budget is to adopt a tax levy that fully funds that budget. The property tax rate proposed by the Mayor is identical to the FY23 property tax rate. The property tax rate will remain $2.992 in the General Services District and will remain $0.332 in the Urban Services District. This tax levy rate is projected to be sufficient to fully fund the Mayor’s proposed FY24 operating budget.
The tax levy is amendable on third reading. Following the adoption of the tax levy ordinance the Urban Council must meet to approve a separate resolution to approve the property tax rate as proposed for the Urban Services District.
