Cedar Rapids keeps levy flat for ninth year in budget
Cedar Rapids City Council approved the fiscal 2018 budget keeping the property tax levy at $15.22 per $1,000 for the ninth consecutive year. A state residential rollback and rising property values could still raise bills, with a $150,000 home paying about $30 more. New construction boosts total assessed value to more than $10.3 billion, lifting tax revenue 3.6 percent despite revenue losses in traffic cameras and personnel costs. The plan also reduces flood recovery funds by $35 million as flood projects wind down.
