Metro Council — September 10, 2026
The council locked in next year's property tax rate. Your rate actually drops slightly — your bill goes up only because home values are up, and the total take is capped at a 4% increase by state law.
Budget Committee — September 3, 2026
Metro's real property rate drops to 11.64 cents per $100, while the Urban Services District rate rises to 32.706 cents — the max 4% revenue growth allowed by state law. Homeowners could still see individual increases above 4% depending on their own assessment.
