As part of early budget discussions for FY 2023, city staff presented city council on Wednesday with an array of recommended property tax relief measures that would increase several tax exemptions for homeowners and lower the tax rate for all property in the city - whether homes, apartments, or commercial.

“You will note...that there will be tax relief this year. And so part of that discussion is how we handle the options that will be presented by staff,” Mayor Ron Nirenberg told council members at the beginning of a Wednesday budget meeting.
