The City Commission has just voted not to raise the City’s property tax. In a motion moved by Commissioner Gil Ziffer, the Commission voted 5-0 to keep the property tax at the current rate of 3.70 mills.
However, the City will receive an additional $2 million in revenue from the 5 cents increase in the county’s gas tax which was approved by the Leon Board of County Commissioners yesterday.
City Manager Anita Favors said that a portion of the gas tax revenue will be used to fund Star Metro, which will in turn, help address the $5 million General Fund deficit.

The gas tax will not raise as much as projected as many of us will buy less gas here. We will fill up outside of the area.
