Public Hearing for Macomb Tax Levy

Macomb, IL – Macomb will hold a Truth in Taxation hearing on its proposed tax levy. The hearing will take place during the city council's December 19 meeting. The hearing is required because the proposed new levy is more than 5% larger than the current one. City Administrator Mike Hays says Macomb is getting $1.19 million this year. The new levy seeks more than $1.2 million. He says the city needs the extra money to keep up with increasing expenses for items such as energy and health insurance. Hays says the owner of a $90,000 home would pay an extra $3.31 to the city. Aldermen will be asked to approve the levy after the public hearing.
