Proposed Property Tax Levy for FY26-27 (Fiscal Year beginning July 1, 2026)

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

6 p.m. Monday, April 6, 2026 @ DeWitt City Hall

The City of DeWitt is proposing the same tax levy as the last tax year - $14.07209 per thousand of taxable valuation. The Residential Rollback from last tax year to this tax year decreased by 2.9%. DeWitt assessed values of all unimproved residential properties increased by an average of 7.7% due to new valuations (7.7% is the average; each property's valuation is unique). As a result of the increased new values and the decreased rollback residential property taxes for FY 2026-2027, on average, will increase by 1.1%. Residents can check their new value at Clinton County’s Beacon Schneider website (click link). Overall, the City's REGULAR TOTAL PROPERTY TAX revenue increased by 5.7% primarily due to new construction creating new value. The state-required notice shows a general assessment increase of 10%, which is incorrect and does not reflect Clinton County assessments.
