You can read more about it here. The TnT process consists of these three components: Each local government is required to formally adopt a “proposed levy” in September for the upcoming year; the final levy, when ultimately adopted, may not exceed the proposed levy. County auditors generate parcel-specific notices of proposed taxes for all parcels of property based on the proposed levies. Each local government is required to hold a public meeting after the notices come out where budget and tax issues are discussed, and where public testimony must be allowed, prior to adopting its final levy. TnT has a goal of improving accountability by focusing taxpayers on the relationship between budget decisions and property taxes, and providing taxpayers with a greater opportunity to become involved in the local government budgeting process. + GOOGLE CALENDAR+ ICAL EXPORT Details Date: November 29 Time: 7:00 pm Event Categories: City Council, Finance Venue City Hall 5200 85th Ave. N.
