For example, reducing the assessment revenue by 25% will <br />increase taxes on residential property by appro�mately 2%. Given that the City strives to limit <br />the annual tax increase to no more than the inflation rate, this particular policy change, <br />independent of all other factors, will consume most of the allowable increase. <br />With a few exceptions, any new tax levy would be subject to State-imposed levy limits. The <br />City currently has approximately $250,000 in available tax levy authority. The policy change <br />depicted in the last table (reducing assessment revenues by 25%), would require an increase in <br />tax levy of appro�mately $160,000. This will consume over half the allowable increase, and <br />would significantly limit the ability to increase funding for all other tax-supported programs and <br />services, <br />Attachment B <br />-4- <br />
