Sales tax receipts are booming in Sylva and a newly completed property revaluation will bump real estate values by about 14.5 percent this year if tax rates stay the same, the town would expect to receive $345,000 more in the coming fiscal year than in the current year’s budget.
That increase equals 7.86 percent of the estimated general fund revenues for 2021-22, but three of the town’s five commissioners say they support an increase to the tax rate as well.
