ITEM TITLE: AGENDANO.__o.N.
2021 Property Tax Levy
Ordinance No. 21-O-0040 FILE NO.

ITEM SUMMARY:
The total 2021 tax levy request, per attached Ordinance No. 21-0-0040, has been projected for the Fiscal Year
2022 Budget at $4,079,159.08. The 2021 tax levy proposal of $4,079,159.08 represents a 4.9 percent increase
over the prior year tax levy, as directed by the Finance Committee and reflected within the proposed 2022 Budget.
Because the City is a home rule municipality, the total levy request of $4,079, 159.08 may be levied as one line
item, and as such, has been levied entirely for corporate purposes. In light of the moderate increase for the 2021
proposed tax levy over the prior year property tax amount levied, the estimated 2021 tax rate is estimated to
slightly increase over the prior year rate by approximately $0.0054. The final 2021 tax rate has a direct correlation
to the final equalized assessed valuation for Wayne and Winfield townships, and therefore, may vary slightly from
the projected rate of .5050, should the assessors’ estimates be subject to modifications that result from Board of
Review action, granting of home improvement exemptions, etc.
As reported to the City, the Wayne Township Assessor is projecting a 3.09% increase in assessed value and
$373,540 as estimated 2021 new construction. The Winfield Township Assessor has reported a 3.13% increase in
assessed value and $19,150,450 as estimated 2021 new construction.
ACTIONS PROPOSED: Recommend to City Council approval of a 2021 tax levy request for General Corporate
Purposes in the amount of $4,079, 159.08.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This item was contained within the 2022 draft Budget.
