On Aug. 30, when you are enjoying your last day at City Beach, it could be a very expensive swim. Why? Because if the Levy passes, your property taxes will increase by 25-30 percent.

If your home has a assessed valuation of $200,000 (net $100,000 because of your primary resident exemption), your property tax will increase by almost $400 per year.

It is interesting that the powers to be chose the more expensive levy which only needs 55 percent voter approval versus a bond issue which would require 66 percent. It is also interesting that they picked Aug. 30. They knew you would be at the beach.

Thought you should know!
