The property tax rate for the City of Johnston may be set at $11.34 under guidelines recently discussed by the City Council. The current rate is $11.15. Council members have been working to hold any rate increase to a minimum, notwithstanding the effects of taxes for debt service associated with the new public safety facilities. An updated budget memo is posted here for further background information, including projections on the expected effects of tax rates on a home with a standard valuation of $200,000.
