The Jacksonville City Council is likely to accept the property tax millage rate in Mayor Donna Deegan’s proposed 2023-24 city budget, holding it steady for the next year.

Council voted 18-0 on Tuesday to advertise the proposed millage rate of 11.3169 mills, or $11.3169 for every $1,000 of assessed taxable value on a property.
