Property Tax Hikes Spread Across Multiple Regions

Property tax increases are being proposed and approved in several U.S. regions, including Dixon, Allegheny County, Delaware County, and West Springfield. In Dixon, the proposed increase for fiscal 2025 translates to a $33 hike for a $100,000 home, with concerns raised by residents about ongoing tax hikes despite previous decreases. Allegheny County Council has approved a 36% increase to address a budget shortfall, with funds allocated for public services and avoiding layoffs. Delaware County is considering a substantial 23% increase due to stagnant revenues and rising costs, although some councilmembers express concerns over the financial burden on residents. West Springfield's tax rate will rise by 3.57%, driven by increased property assessments from a hot housing market.
