BERLIN — It was the dollar amount that city officials and residents awaited even as they held their collective breaths. The city set its tax rate Feb. 18, a rate that is $3.99 per $1,000 valuation higher than the 2023 rate of $26.90.

The rate for 2024, typically set in November and late due to the Burgess Biopower plant bankruptcy that delayed determination of the city’s value, is $30.89 per $1,000 real property valuation.
