City Property Tax
Levy and Rate Summary
The following tables provide information about the City's tax levies under the last two city budgets and the mill rates (property tax rate). State law limits the amount by which the city may increase its property tax levy. The limit on the percentage increase in property tax levy is equal to the percentage increase in the value of the city's tax base from new construction, which for this year was 6.11%. In 2007, the total city property tax levy increases by 5.06%, from $1,840,565 in 2006 to $1,933,640 in 2007.
The city is being frugal with your tax dollars; we didn't raise taxes to the limit the law allows.
Please be aware that all properties in the City of Evansville were reassessed for property taxes levied in 2005 and collectible in 2006. As a result of this reassessment, assessed values increased by 30% in 2006. However, this did not cause property tax bills to increase substantially. Since the assessed values of all properties in the City increased substantially, the mill rates for the City, school district, county, technical college, and state all decreased substantially. The City's mill rate for 2004/2005 property taxes was $9.76 per $1,000 of assessed value. The city's mill rate for 2005/2006 property taxes decreased to $6.68 per $1,000 of assessed value. In 2006/2007, the mill rate dropped a little more, by $0 .02 to $6.66/$1,000.

Summary of 2007 City Budget
The adoption of an annual City Budget is important,
because it identifies the Council’s funding priorities for
the upcoming year. This summary has been prepared to inform you
of the City’s budget goals, priorities and challenges. Copies
of the complete budget are available for viewing at City Hall
or the Eager Free Public Library.
The City’s 2007 budget was prepared with consideration
given to maintaining a relatively stable tax rate and continuing
to provide basic services, while ensuring that the City's property
tax levy complies with the state's levy limit and the City’s
operating expenses fall within the state’s expenditure restraint
guideline.

adopted) 2007 city operating and capital budgets. For reference, the 2006 memorandum is here.
