This amendment to the Charter of the Town of Millville is intended to revise the limit on the taxes that may be levied and collected on real estate and the improvements thereon in a given year to no more than 3% of the total assessed value. Currently the Charter’s limit is $250,000. The Town’s current tax rate of .5%, in light of its prior growth, has the Town at the limit. By substituting a percentage, rather than a specific dollar figure, the Town will be able to accommodate its future and projected growth and the necessary budgetary adjustments, without having to request additional amendments to the Charter.

An Act To Amend The Charter Of The Town Of Millville, Chapter 278, Volume 72, Laws Of Delaware, As Amended, Entitled "an Act To Reincorporate The Town Of Millville" To Amend Paragraph (a)(30) Of Section 31, Enumeration Of Powers.
