HISTORIC MILFORD TAX CUT

For only the second time in the past 30 years, Milford taxpayers will see a decrease in the amount of money they pay locally, as the Board of Aldermen adopted a new City budget last night that reduces taxes for fiscal year 2016-2017. Milford’s mill rate, already far less than any of the neighboring communities, was reduced even further from 27.88 mills to 27.84 mills, thereby cutting taxes for both residents and businesses.
Each year, the City of Milford develops a budget which protects our community’s core values by ensuring our public safety departments operate at optimal levels, our public infrastructure is properly maintained, our social safety network is robust, and our schools are exceptional. At the same time, each department is challenged to hold the line on spending and streamline the approach by which services are delivered – guaranteeing that Milford City Government will be more efficient and productive than ever before.
