PUBLIC NOTICE: The City Council of Lock Haven will hold its final hearing on the 2022 proposed budget on Monday, December 6, 2021, at 7 o’clock p.m. in the first floor Council Chambers of City Hall (20 E Church Street, Lock Haven, PA). Following the public hearing, Council will consider the adoption of Ordinance No. 2021-11 adopting the 2022 fiscal year budget and Ordinance No. 2021-12 setting the millage for real estate tax. Ordinance No. 2021-12 represents a 9% increase in overall millage increasing the rate on “land” to 28.0 mills and “improvements” to 6.1 mills. The median household will see an increase of the equivalent to $6.42 per month. About 60% of the parcels in the city will see a similar increase. When removing the top 25 commercial and/or industrial properties (largest taxpayer), the average property will pay $6.92 per month ($83 per year) more in RE Tax to the city in 2022 than in 2021. Since the last RE Tax increase in 2015, the city has lost 3% in assessed real estate value, primarily driven by property purchases by tax-exempt entities; while the cumulative price increases due to inflation since 2015 have been more than a 15% increase. A copy of the 2022 Budget Book as well as the proposed ordinances are available at lockhavenpa.gov or in person at City Hall.
