It also shows a comparison o� the City's t� <br />rate. <br />You wili see that fik�e Ievy has increased by 3% over 2011 and the tax rate has increased, this is <br />due in part to the cha�ge in legislation regarding the Market Va1ue Homestead Credit {MVHC) <br />prograzxz, a xeduction in our share of fiscal disparxty dollars, and the increase in the levy. <br />
