However, you may express your support for or opposition to the proposed tax rate by contacting the members of the City Council at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
Your taxes owed under any of the tax rates mentioned above can be calculated as follows:
Property tax amount = ( tax rate ÷ 100 ) × taxable value of your property
