» Public forum. Anybody here want to speak
upon a tax hearing or anything on the
[1:28]
agenda related to the
sales tax, which is
[1:35]
sales tax?
It's on real property tax, I'm sorry.
[1:39]
It's a tax levy for taxation of the
general revenue purposes for the year
[1:43]
2027.
>> Yeah, as a citizen, can you describe
[1:47]
this
in simpler terms, please?
[1:51]
» This is for your property and personal
property tax on the valuation
[1:55]
which you own
for the city taxes not the county.
[2:00]
Just based off what the county
assessment showed on what our net worth
[2:04]
is.
Uh 4,444,411
[2:10]
dollars and zero cents.
And
[2:15]
» Basically the rates remain the same.
>> Yes.
[2:18]
Uh
as we are not we have no tax levy on the
[2:21]
ballot or had
made any tax levy like
[2:26]
what we had previous year
what we can raise.
[2:30]
I guess we got that we voted to approve.
So our tax
[2:33]
rate will be at
>> 0.9867
[2:38]
» 0.9867
which has been like that for many a
[2:42]
year.
Uh you can see it in the pro forma
[2:47]
in the state auditor's office there.
And likewise so
[2:54]
um
if you need to have any other questions
[2:57]
citizen data
>> Uh
[3:01]
yeah, what about the issue of uh senior
citizens uh
[3:06]
making uh tax freeze
>> You have to fill out the application at
[3:11]
the county
and then submit that and after that they
[3:16]
go and submit at certain time.
Um
[3:20]
we don't do that here. We chose not to
do that because we do not have any of
[3:24]
those issues.
[3:26]
Where did you get the census
>> How we get
[3:29]
