Levy
A levy increase is an increase in the amount of money
that the municipality requires from the community’s tax that the municipality requires from the community’s tax payers in a given year
Tax Rate
A tax rate increase is impacted by the growth in
assessment
Assessment growth does not always relate to new
development that is available to share the cost associated with funding the levy g y
Real Growth
l h d d b l
Real growth is an estimate provided by Municipal
Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) of the new construction and development in the community that p y is available to help pay the cost of the levy
We utilize the real growth number and the levy to
determine increases or decreases in our costs
