I see room to build on this restraint while keeping essential services dependable.

I am showing smaller increases, not lower tax bills. My own bill also depends on assessment and other charges.

My sources & exact numbers +

I use the City’s annual general municipal tax increases: 2020 to 2025 from the 2025 Financial Plan (printed page 15; PDF page 16), and 2026 from the adopted-budget release. I retain the 2023 jump and budgets adopted before the October 2022 election. I do not equate these rates with a household’s complete bill or use inconsistent peer-city tax definitions to claim a ranking.

I checked these sources on 8 September 2026. I am showing dated public records, not a live feed.
