NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON TAX INCREASE
A tax rate of $0.37106 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of City of Webster.
PROPOSED TAX RATE $0.37106 per $100
NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE $0.35288 per $100
VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE $0.37106 per $100
The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2025 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for City of Webster from the same properties in both the 2024 tax year and the 2025 tax year.
The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that City of Webster may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate.
The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that City of Webster is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2025 tax year.
