NOTICE OF PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE
Pursuant to Section 58.1-3321, Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, notice is hereby
given that the City of Roanoke proposes to increase property tax levies.
Assessment Increase: The total assessed value of real property, excluding additional
assessments due to new construction or improvements to property, exceeds last
year's total assessed value of real property by 5.85 pement.
Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The tax rate which would
levy the same amount of real estate tax as last year, when multiplied by the new total
assessed value of real estate with the exclusions mentioned above, would be $1.14
per $100 of assessed value. This rate will be known as the "lowered tax rate."
Effective Rate Increase: The City of Roanoke proposes to adopt a tax rate of $1.21
per $100 of assessed value. The difference between the lowered tax rate and the
proposed tax rate would be $.07 per $100, or 5.85 percent. This difference will be
known as the "effective tax rate increase." Individual property taxes may, however,
increase at a percentage greater than or less than the above percentage.
Proposed Total Budget Increase: Based on the proposed real property tax rate and
changes in other revenues, the total budget of the City of Roanoke will exceed last
year's by 5.77 percent.
A public hearing on the "effective tax rate increase" will be held on Thursday, May 1,2003,
