Ely council approves seven-percent hike in property tax levy Posted
Keith Vandervort
ELY – City Council members here approved a seven-percent increase in the 2021 tax levy this week on the heels of a Truth in Taxation public hearing that failed to generate even one interested community member.
City staff explained the 2021 budget and levy proposal at the state-mandated public hearing on Dec. 8 and council members gave their final approval during their last meeting of the year on Tuesday night.
The approved city tax is $1,892,300 for 2021, an increase of $123,800 over 2020.
