  • City Council Maintains Real Estate Tax Rate in Proposed Budget

    The Manassas City Council approved a first reading of the city budget that retains the current real estate tax rate of $1.26 per $100, despite some members pushing for a reduction. Rising property values will still lead to higher tax bills. The personal property tax rate also remains unchanged. While some council members advocated for tax relief, most supported maintaining rates to fund city services and infrastructure. A final vote is scheduled for June 9. (Patch)
