The Hopkinsville Committee of the Whole voted Thursday night to forward the 2019 property tax rates to City Council.
City Financial Officer Robert Martin’s presented a range of property tax rate scenarios to the Committee and then recommended increasing the real property tax rate for 2019 to 23.9 cents per $100.
The Committee also approved Martin’s recommendation to keep the personal property tax rate the same at 25.1 cents per $100, the rate it’s been for many years.
In other action, the Committee approved and forwarded to Council the Stormwater Utility fiscal year 2019-2020 budget of over $1.1 million, and an ordinance increasing the number of members on the airport board from six to ten.
