If the City of Havre de Grace maintains the current tax rate of $0.5697 per $100 of assessment, real property tax revenues will increase by 0.8%, resulting in $67,116 new real property tax revenues. 3. In order to fully offset the effect ofincreasing assessments, the real property tax rate should be decreased to $0.5650, the constant yield tax rate. 4.
