Under the proposal, the tax rate would increase from the certified rate of .001744 to .002663.
City officials claim the increase is necessary to fund much needed road repairs throughout the city.
The need for additional money seems incongruent for a city having just received a large revenue windfall. In addition, if the proposed tax increase is implemented, because of the short term nature of the projects, your Association would encourage the city to commit to lowering the tax rate after the six years. The Association recommends citizens attend the public hearing to comment on the proposed tax increase, the proposed list of road projects, and alternative plans for road improvement. Kaysville City's proposed tax increase represents a substantial property tax increase from previous years. Please make copies of this Tax Alert and distribute them to other Kaysville City residents.
