Most Winston-Salem taxpayers will see higher tax bills in the coming year, but members of the city council's Finance Committee voted Thursday to limit the increase by endorsing a tax rate of 61.24 cents for every $100 of taxable property, for the 2021-22 fiscal year. That's a penny lower than the rate recommended by City Manager Lee Garrity in his proposed budget. It remains for the full Winston-Salem City Council to set the tax rate, which should occur during the council's June 21 meeting. Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines doesn't vote on the council unless he needs to break a tie, but added his endorsement to the proposed rate during the Thursday discussions on the Finance Committee.
