2027 Budget Climate: Circuit Breaker and Levy Limits
Summary
The new state property tax law phases in deductions on apartments and agricultural land through 2030, which lowers TIF revenue in districts that capture those property types — mainly Burkhardt Road. Worst case is about a $765,000 hit, but growing assessed values and mostly commercial/industrial districts mean the commission can still meet all its obligations.
