Vote to Adopt New Budget and Property Tax Rate

📅 Vote Scheduled August 27, 2026

The board is holding a public hearing and then immediately voting to adopt the new budget and property tax rate for the 2026-2027 year. This is the most important vote of the year for taxpayers. The key question is whether the board will adopt a rate higher than the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, which would increase the total amount of taxes collected from homeowners and businesses, even if the rate itself is advertised as a ‘cut’ due to rising property values.

Response

PACK THE ROOM: This is the most important meeting of the year for your property tax bill. Attend the Public Hearing at 5:00 PM on August 27th. Sign up to speak and ask the board one simple question: ‘Are you adopting the no-new-revenue tax rate? If not, why are you voting to raise our taxes?’ Demand a recorded vote on the tax rate.

💰 Impact: Potential tax increase above the no-new-revenue rate.
