People will have another chance to comment on the city of Orange’s proposed tax rate Tuesday at 6 p.m. The City Council will have another public hearing on the tax rate in the council chamber next to the Orange Public Library.
The public hearing is the only item on the agenda for the special meeting. The proposed tax rate is 80.7 cents per $100 valuation, compared to the current rate of 80.5 cents per $100 valuation. However, the city, under state law, must advertise the rate as an 8 percent increase because overall property values increased.
No one spoke for or against the tax rate during the first public hearing.
