The 2024 Annual Budget includes a base tax increase of $100.00 and mill rate increase of 1.0%. For 80% of properties in White City this will mean a tax increase of $9.41 to $10.36 per month. Additionally, the 2024 Annual Budget includes an additional Wastewater Infrastructure Charge of $33.58 per month per household related to the costs of the WCRM158 Wastewater Management Authority’s Wastewater Expansion Project. The Wastewater Infrastructure Fee has been introduced due to the significant costs of the Wastewater Expansion Project required to accommodate the wastewater management for current properties and to accommodate growth within the White City.
