Ordinances – 1st Read
Millage Cap Amendment
APPROVED and moved to first read. The city charter currently provides that the millage rate imposed for ad valorem taxes cannot exceed eight mills. The proposed amendment would clarify that the ad valorem millage rate associated with general obligations bonds and other special assessments does not count toward the millage rate limit for regular ad valorem taxes.
