Bangor residents will have the lowest tax rate since 2010 under the city's new budget, but rising residential property values will lead to a 10 percent increase in property tax bills in 2024. Bangor councilors approved a new $123.2 million spending plan that covers both the city and school department on Monday, which is 5 percent higher than last year's. The city budget, totalling $66.49 million, increased nearly 4 percent and the school budget, totalling $56.74 million, increased by 6.5 percent.
