FY2022 CYTR

The Mayor and Council of the City of College Park proposes to increase real property taxes.

For the tax year beginning July 1, 2021, the estimated real property assessable base will increase by 3.8%, from $3,086,366,980 to $3,203,730,429
If the City of College Park maintains the current tax rate of $0.325 per $100 of assessment, real property tax revenues will increase by 3.8% resulting in $381,431 of new real property tax revenues.
In order to fully offset the effect of increasing assessments, the real property tax rate should be reduced to $0.3131, the constant yield tax rate.
The City of College Park is considering not reducing its real property tax rate enough to fully offset increasing assessments. The City proposes to adopt a real property tax rate of $0.325 per $100 of assessment. This tax rate is 3.8% higher than the constant yield tax rate and will generate $381,431 in additional property tax revenues.
