A public notice (shown above) posted by the City of Fishers has created lots of online chatter the past couple of days. This is a requirement under state law to give the city an option to increase a tax rate, but does not mean the city in now proposing a rate increase.

The same Notice was posted this time last year and no rate was raised as a result.

According to Ashley Elrod, spokesperson for the City of Fishers, the Notice simply provides the city with a maximum potential tax rate for 2022.

“This does not mean we are raising taxes,” Elrod tells LarryInFishers. “The tax rate for 2021 has been set.”

As stated in the Notice, a public hearing will be held on the matter at the next Fishers City Council meeting, March 15, at 7pm.
