What happened
The mayor of Middletown proposed increasing property taxes by approximately 5 percent to cover rising city costs across several departments. If passed, this increase would end Middletown’s 15-year streak of not exceeding the state tax cap of 2 percent. The total tax levy increase proposed is $507,000.

Why it matters
The proposed tax increase is intended to cover rising operating costs, including tariffs, health insurance, pensions, and rising prices for gas, diesel, and water treatment chemicals. For instance, a median-value single-family home in Middletown would see an annual increase of $48.68 in property taxes.
