ITEM SUMMARY:
The total 2024 tax levy request, per attached Ordinance No. 24-O-0049, has been projected for the Fiscal Year
2025 budget at $4,932,712.13. The 2024 tax levy proposal of $4,932,712.13 represents a 4.9 percent increase
over the prior year tax levy, per past City Council direction.
The final 2024 tax rate has a direct correlation to the final equalized assessed valuation of Wayne and Winfield
Townships, and therefore, may vary slightly from the projected rate of .4663 should the Assessor's estimates be
subject to modifications. The estimated rate represents a decrease of .00231%.
As reported to the City, the Wayne Township Assessor is projecting an 10.22% increase in assessed value and
$155,068 as estimated 2024 new construction. The Winfield Township Assessor has reported a 9.49% increase in
assessed value and $13,331,091 as estimated 2024 new construction.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Recommend to City Council approval of a 2024 tax levy request for General Corporate Purposes in the
amount of $4,932,712.13.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item is being presented to the Finance Committee for consideration prior to the City Council meeting.
