Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase
The City of Clifton will hold two public hearings on a proposal to increase total tax revenues from properties on the tax roll in the preceding tax year by eight percent. Your individual taxes may increase at a greater or lesser rate, or even decrease, depending on the change in the taxable value of your property in relation to the change in taxable value of all other property and the tax rate that is adopted.
The first public hearing will be held on August 31, 2010 at 6:00 PM at the Clifton Civic Center.
The second public hearing will be held on September 7, 2010 at 6:00 PM at the Clifton Civic Center.
The members of the governing body voted on the proposal to consider the tax increase as follows:
FOR: Rick Wimmer, Phillip Ramirez, Joann Gloff, J.W. Thiele, Richard Spitzer
AGAINST: None
PRESENT and not voting: N/A
ABSENT: N/A
The average taxable value of a residence homestead in Clifton last year was $68,260. Based on last year's tax rate of $ 0.3380 per $100 of taxable value, the amount of taxes imposed last year on the average home was $230.72.
The average taxable value of a residence homestead in Clifton this year is $69,005. If the governing body adopts the effective tax rate for this year of $0.3386 per $100 of taxable value, the amount of taxes imposed this year on the average home would be $233.65.
If the governing body adopts the proposed tax rate of $0.3656 per $100 of taxable value, the amount of taxes imposed this year on the average home would be $252.28.
Members of the public are encouraged to attend the hearings and express their views.
