Good News for Homeowners—With a Catch‼️

Mayor Miller is recommending a fifth straight reduction in the property tax millage rate—down to 9.575 mills, a total drop of 10.756 mills since he took office. This comes despite increased funding for public safety, IT, beautification, recreation, and more—thanks to smarter budgeting and new revenue like the voter-approved OLOST.

But here’s the catch: Rising property values may mean your actual tax bill won’t fall as much as the mill rate suggests. For example, a past 0.823-mill cut only lowered household bills by about 2.5% because property values climbed.

Why it matters:

• ✅ A rare win—rate cuts and service increases.

• 📊 Know the math—property values affect your bill more than you think.

• 🗣 Get involved—attend the meeting, ask questions, and share your perspective.
