Columbus homeowners will see 21% tax hike this year
SUMMARY: At a recent budget hearing, Columbus residents expressed concerns over increased tax bills linked to the city’s proposed Fiscal Year 2025 budget. Although property taxes are expected to decrease slightly, new ad valorem tax rates approved by the city council will raise bills significantly, with homeowners lacking a homestead exemption facing a 21% increase. For instance, owners of $100,000 homes will see an extra $284 in taxes. The council approved a total millage rate of 118.5, while discussions about further potential adjustments continue amid pressures from inflation and necessary tax revenue increases.
