That’s up from last year’s rate, which was about $4.80 for every $1,000 of taxable value.</p><div class="s2nPlayer k-gbDoqmaV" data-type="float" data-s2n-api="dfm_stn_player_script_id_gbDoqmaV"></div><script> function dfm_stn_player_script_id_gbDoqmaV( getS2NApiForPlayer ) { if( typeof window.MNGAuthentication !== 'undefined' ){ const s2nApi = getS2NApiForPlayer( document.querySelector('.k-gbDoqmaV') ); s2nApi.float = ! window.MNGAuthentication.isUserSubscriber(); } }</script><p>For the owner of a $250,000 house that’s a primary residence and protected by state homestead laws, the value would increase only 2.1 percent, and $50,000 in value would be exempt from taxation. The increase would be about $250, and the tax bill this year will be about $1,205.</p><p>Still, the city has a second, separate tax lingering from a voter-approved debt. It is decreasing slightly this year.</p><script id="1d0dc0348cd141d0aff90a09bc2fa954"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=31da2599-7b10-451b-95eb-4003c0b401f3&cid=38d5daa3-18ac-4ee1-a905-373c67622f25'; cnx.cmd.push( function() { cnx( { playerId: "31da2599-7b10-451b-95eb-4003c0b401f3" } ).render( "1d0dc0348cd141d0aff90a09bc2fa954" ); } );</script><p>Other changes in the budget:</p><p>— Water rates also will increase by $2.24 a month for the average homeowner — an increase of 3.5 percent.</p><div class="dfp-ad dfp-cube_article" id="div-gpt-ad-cube_article" style="visibility:hidden"> <div class="htlad-cube_article" data-unit="sun-sentinel.com/things-to-do/home-garden/cube_article" data-targeting=""></div> </div><p>— The fire assessment will rise from $155 to $180 a year for single-family homeowners. There is no change for multi-family units.</p><p>— The solid waste fee will be raised by $8.25. Single-family homes will pay $248, an increase from $239.75.</p><p>Coral Springs staff had originally pitched a <a href="http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/fl-sb-coral-springs-proposed-budget-20170630-story.html" target="_blank">higher property tax rate</a> for the upcoming year, but the commission agreed to lower it after residents complained the rate would be a financial burden.</p><p>On Wednesday, city commissioners lowered it yet again.</p><p>The initial rate was expected to net the city an extra $14 million in property tax revenue. Deputy City Manager Susan Grant said the new figures will bring in about $2 million less. “We can still work with that,” she said Friday.</p><p> .ss-blurb-fblike{<br> padding-left:10px;<br> }<br>
