Manager’s Message

CONCLUSION

The average household in Arlington will see the following increases in FY 2024:

• Property taxes on the average home will increase by $13.37 per month
• Water and Sewer rate increase of $2.76 per month (the average residence uses about 7,000/3,000 gallons of
water/sewer per month)
• Garbage and recycling rate increase of $0.75 per month, including taxes and fees
• Storm water rate increase of $0.50 per month

The average household will pay $208.54 more per year ($17.38 per month) for property taxes, water, sanitation, and storm
water services provided by the City.

Keeping our commitments is an overarching theme throughout the FY 2024 Proposed Budget. Over the past few years the City
has clearly demonstrated its flexibility and adaptability in responding to abrupt changes, but those course corrections must be
made within the overall context of staying on course toward our long-term goals. We are confident that the Proposed Budget
strikes the appropriate balance between preserving what we have, developing new programs to serve our residents and
businesses, while maintaining our ability to respond effectively to unanticipated challenges that may arise in the future.

I am honored to present the FY 2024 Proposed Budget for consideration by the Mayor and City Council and look forward to
finalizing our plan of work to serve the City’s residents in the coming year.

Sincerely,

Trey Yelverton
City Manager
