The Manhattan City Commission on Tuesday passed a resolution signaling its intention to collect more tax revenue in 2026.

The measure, which passed 4-1, allows the city government to exceed what’s called the “revenue-neutral rate” (RNR) by up to 2 mills. That step is required by the state when a city wants to bring in more revenue than it did the previous budget year.

A mill is $1 in taxes for every $1,000 in assessed, taxable property value.

The city’s RNR is 53.109, so commissioners will not be able to raise the mill levy above 55.109. Commissioner John Matta was the lone commissioner to oppose.
