CLAY — The Clay City Council at its meeting tonight will schedule a public hearing to discuss a potential property tax increase, according to the council’s agenda.
The city council meets at 6:30 p.m. at Clay City Hall at 2441 Old Springville Road.
The city council had a 5-millage property tax increase on its agenda in August 2013, but voted 3-2 to remove it from the agenda. It would have generated an additional $500,000 in revenue for the city.

Clay Mayor Charles Webster said in August that he saw a property tax in Clay “down the road.”
City Manager Ronnie Dixon said last year that the average home value in Clay is $120,000 and there are 2,900 houses in the city.
Clay last August also voted to increase its sales tax by two cents.
