(ABC 6 News) — In Albert Lea, the city is lowering their proposed tax levy.

The initial proposed property tax levy was set for 15.75%, but now, that number is being lowered to 14%.

If the levy is approved at Monday night’s city council meeting, it means if your home is valued at $100,000, your property taxes would increase by nearly $60 per year.

City officials say the increase comes from improvements being made at the city’s rec centers.
