The city of Manchester is proposing the following tax rates:

  • A tax rate of 4.5 cents per $100 assessed valuation on all residential and commercial property.
  • A tax rate of 5 cents per $100 of assessed valuation on all personal property.
  • A tax rate of 19.3 cents per $100 of assessed valuation on all residential, commercial and personal property tax in the city of Manchester. This tax pays off the outstanding general obligation bonds that were approved by voters when they passed Proposition P in November, 2002. Proposition P authorized the city to borrow $6.5 million to build the new facility.

The board of aldermen is also set to vote on reaffirming the city's utility tax rate Monday. The ordinance is to simply reaffirm the city's current utility tax rate which was decreased from five percent to four percent in August 2007, according to City Clerk Ruth Baker.
