Missoula to levy 84 percent more taxes in 2015 than 2005

The city of Missoula plans to levy 84 percent more dollars in 2015 than it did in 2005, according to historic tax data recently compiled by the City Finance Department. The average tax increase was 3.8 percent a year over the same period.

"The lion’s share of what we’re investing in continues to be police, fire, court and attorneys," said Mayor John Engen, who offered the average tax increase. "One of the factors is voters said let’s build a new fire station, which we did, and when we do that, we automatically hire 17 employees, which is significant."
