The City Council will hold a truth in taxation hearing on Tuesday, August 14th at 6:00 PM at Syracuse City Hall located at 1979 West 1900 South to consider a tax increase that would generate an additional $55,000 in fiscal year 2019.  This would be equivalent to $6.37 per year on an average home value of $305,000. The additional tax revenue would be used to fund a mandate created by the Utah Legislature’s Senate Bill 235, which was passed in the 2018 legislative session. That state bill requires all cities to help fund public safety for homeless shelters statewide.
