Hi Folks,
​
First up is taxes. Those in the CSD will see a decrease in their tax rates while those in the MVSD will see an increase. However your taxes may go up in both school districts. MVSD because of the increase in tax rates and assessed values and CSD because the increase in assessed value may cancel out the reduction in the tax rate.

Specific information for all properties will be available on line, at the assessors office and in the library beginning November 12th.

I have attached two files regarding taxes. One is the assessment report and the other describes tax rates. And I have attached a link to the city’s data base for assessed property values.

Everyone agrees that there is a demand for housing, not only in Concord but nationally. And I believe everyone agrees that it is becoming more difficult to find and develop affordable housing.
