Fremont keeps tax rate steady in preliminary budget plan
Fremont outlines a $246 million preliminary budget with the same property tax rate as last year though higher home values raise city bills. The plan shifts $20.5 million in projects including a Durham Road grade separation, funded by a projected 13 percent rise in assessed valuation and a 10 percent sales tax uptick. Property taxes are expected to yield $5.7 million, while police and fire costs total $8.1 million. State and federal funding, $7.2 million, remains the largest revenue source, with revenue sharing now feeding the operating budget.
