The Trion Town Council will meet tonight, Thursday, November 12, with a public hearing on the town’s proposed property tax increase also scheduled for 6 PM.

The public hearing will be held in the Town of Trion Conference Room and will be the third and final opportunity for residents to comment on the proposed increase.

The town is proposing a millage rate of 10.781 mills, representing a 5.96 percent increase over the calculated rollback rate. Although the proposed millage rate is lower than last year’s rate, increases in assessed property values mean the town would collect additional revenue from existing properties.

According to figures published by the town, the proposed increase would mean approximately $19.45 more in annual property taxes for a home valued at $175,000, using the assessment and exemption assumptions in the town’s notice.

Two previous public hearings were scheduled for November 5.

The Town Council’s rescheduled November workshop will also begin at 6 PM tonight at Trion Town Hall, with the regular council meeting immediately following the workshop.
