PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to keep the property tax rate the same in 2012.
It will be the second year in a row without an increase.
The city expects to receive $4,090,073 in revenue in 2012.
This year, the city’s regular property tax rate is $2.75 per $1,000 assessed valuation.
The council will consider approval of a $130 million budget at its Dec. 6 meeting.
The budget is heavy on capital projects, including the start of construction of new infrastructure to eliminate sewage overflows.
The total capital budget is nearly $35 million.
The City Council, after holding a public hearing on the budget, directed staff Tuesday to see which projects can be deferred.
One person spoke at the hearing and noted the difficult financial circumstances the city is facing.
