A 5%residential <br /> exemption was adopted at last November's Tax Classification Hearing. This resulted in a 33,268 valuation <br /> ($233.21 tax) discount for all approved domiciliary properties. This adoption created an increase in the <br /> residential tax rate to $7.01 from the natural tax rate of$6.94. Commercial, Industrial and Personal <br /> properties remained at the natural tax rate of$6.94. <br /> Of the 2,600 residential exemption applications, 2,434 were approved in Fiscal Year 2023. <br /> Prior estimates indicated approximately 4,800 potential RX qualifiers. An increase in the RX percentage <br /> will, most likely, result in more applicants due to the increased value of exemption. It is recommended that <br /> taxpayers that may qualify for an exemption, file by September 1 st. This would allow the abatement to be <br /> included in the tax rate. <br /> Residential Exemptions Options: <br /> Percentage Exempted Value Tax Rate Tax Exempted Amount Savings <br /> 0% $6.94 $0 <br /> 5% $33,268 $7.01 $233.10 $179.17 <br /> 10% $66,356 $7.07 $470.74 $370.59 <br /> 15% $99,803 $7.14 $712.59 $558.51 <br /> 20% $133,071 $7.22 $960.15 $744.44 <br /> 25% $166,339 $7.29 $1,212.61 $942,97 <br /> 30% $199,607 $7.36 $1,469.11 $1,145.54 <br /> 35% $232,875 $7.44 $1,732.59 $1,347.39 <br />
