Since the city has attracted retirees from all over, an increasing percentage are senior citizens. Even with our growth, we are proud of our home-town sense of community. Sales tax is collected on all non-food purchases. Property tax is a little over one percent of assessed value. We have over 160 service, fraternal and special interest groups in the area.
Many national associations have active branches here.
There is a senior drop-in center with a wide range of interest groups. We are proud of the volunteer attitude of our people. Whatever your interest, you'll find plenty of activities in which to get involved. Our older citizens enjoy the many activities and opportunities available locally. We invite you to stop by our very active Senior Center, where something is always going on.
