**Body:** City of Republic
**Date:** August 25, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

The City of Republic held a City Council workshop on August 25, 2026, focused on calculating the city’s real-property tax levies. Staff explained the Hancock Amendment calculation: assessed value for the comparable property base declined about 1.8154%, resulting in 0% permitted growth for that base. The proposed 2026 rates are $0.4059 per $100 of assessed value for general operations, $0.1094 for Parks and Recreation, and $0.0624 for streetlights, totaling $0.5777, compared with $0.5672 the prior year. Staff estimated approximately $2.5 million in total revenue, with the increase over the prior year attributable to applying the rates to new construction and newly added territories. The workshop included no procurement activity, spending motions, or votes; the workshop was closed after the presentation.
