According to KETK and the Longview News-Journal, the city has proposed a 50.09-cent property tax rate for the 2012 budget year. The rate includes an unchanged maintenance and operations rate of 38.62 cents per $100 taxable value, plus 13.47 cents for debt service. The debt rate increased from 11.78 cents after voters approved a $52.6 million street bond proposal in May.   City Manager David Willard addressed the rate as part of his nearly $150 million spending plan for 2012 at Thursday\u2019s City Council meeting. Council members also rezoned Magnolia Lane property to make way for apartment homes and named a new mayor pro tem.<\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s property tax rate of 48.4 cents and the 2012 proposed rate are higher than the effective rate of 48.13 cents \u2014 the rate needed to generate the same amount of revenue as in the current budget.  For taxpayers, the average taxable home value increased from $132,325 this past year to $135,465 in 2012. That means the average tax bill, with the proposed 50.09-cent rate, would be $678.54, representing an increase of $38.09, or a nearly 6 percent jump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONGVIEW \u2014 The tax increase Longview voters asked for is on the horizon.
