The tax rate dropped by $3.80 in Dublin this year. The 2019 tax rate is $24.63, down from last year’s $28.43 per $1,000 value.
Dublin underwent a town-wide property value re-assessment, which raised the town’s overall property valuation about 17.5 percent to $271,767,340.
“We did a full revalue so our assessments were up, which results in a lower tax rate,” Town Administrator Sherry Miller said.
Under the new tax rate, a person with a home valued at $200,000 can expect to pay taxes of $4,926.
