Each mill brings in about $62,000 in property taxes, Mayor Pro Tem Loretta Lipsey said. By law, the council may not increase the tentative millage rate but it may reduce it. A 3-mill increase would add $120 before any exemptions to Gray residents' tax bills on $100,000 worth of property. The city has not had a tax increase since 1999, when the rate was set at 8 mills. The rate was cut by a quarter-mill in 2003 and has been at 7.75 mills since. The council voted 3-0 for the increase in a called meeting Monday evening, only to learn later that it did not have a quorum because Lipsey participated in the vote while also presiding over the session in the absence of Mayor Jason Briley.... | |
