To continue to provide essential services as well as maintain and improve our city, Centerville City is proposing to increase revenue through a property tax increase of 32.26%.
The cost of providing essential services and infrastructure has increased significantly. As the City's purchasing power has declined, more funding is needed to keep up with rising inflation and to maintain the City's current service levels.
Property tax dollars are used to maintain critical infrastructure, provide Police and Fire services, and maintain parks and the Cemetery. To continue to provide current services levels, the City is seeking additional funds from property taxes through a process called Truth-In-Taxation.
