In the discussion over the proposed fire and rescue mill-levy increase, nobody seems to be talking about the increase in property taxes for someone owning commercial property, whose assessed valuation is a great deal more than a residential property owner.
I believe that a commercial property owner having a building worth the same $400,000 that keeps getting talked about, will have his or her existing property taxes which are around $3,300 go up by almost $498 to a total of almost $3,800.
