The City of Johnson City, Tennessee will conduct a public hearing on Thursday, July 18, 2019, at 6 p.m., in the Municipal and Safety Building, on the City’s intent to round up the certified tax rate from four digits past the decimal point to two digits, resulting in exceeding the certified tax rate.
The certified tax rates calculated by the State Board of Equalization are $1.7069, $1.8275 and $1.9434 for City properties lying within Washington, Carter and Sullivan Counties, respectively. Since the City establishes its tax rate in full pennies, Ordinance 4702-19 proposes rounding up the City tax rates by 31/100, 25/100 and 66/100 of a penny, to $1.71, $1.83 and $1.95 for Washington, Carter and Sullivan Counties, respectively.
