City Council keeps Battle Ground property taxes at 2009 level The Battle Ground City Council, at their Dec. 7 meeting, voted to keep City property taxes at the current 2009 level. By state law, cities are allowed to increase their budget by up to 1% with an increase in property taxes. Currently, in 2009, the City will collect an estimated $2,253,991 in property taxes. Through the passage of Ordinance 09-15, the council elected to collect $0 over the 2009 level with a 0% increase. Holding property taxes to the current level will reduce the amount collected in 2010 by approximately $22,500. New construction and annexations occurring in 2009 will add an additional $97,626 to property tax revenues, to make the total estimated property tax collected $2,351,617 for 2010.
