Public Hearing On Proposed 2-Cent Tax Increase Set For Monday In Berlin

Officials in Berlin are expected to consider a two-cent property tax rate increase as the budget process moves forward. Following discussion at this week’s work session, Mayor Zack Tyndall instructed staff to include a rate of $0.835 per $100 of assessed valuation in the tax rate ordinance to be considered by the council following a public hearing April 24. While council members have mixed feelings on an increase, Tyndall said it would help balance the budget.
