City property taxes are expected to remain steady for existing homeowners. The average homeowner can expect to pay the same amount as last year, with a house valued at $430,000 estimated to have a city property tax of $1,092. A growing population is helping to expand the tax base, with around 1,000 new residents anticipated this year.

This growth, along with savings from federal and state grants, is contributing to the stable tax rate. Further information on the city's budget and tax structure is available from the city administrator and other officials.
