EDITORIAL: City must take a hard look at spending

| July 23, 2025 1:00 AM

The city of Coeur d'Alene, to make up a budget deficit, is considering another property tax increase for fiscal year 2026. This would be the third straight year of property tax hikes. 

This current proposal calls for the allowable 3% property tax increase and 1% of forgone taxes. The 3% is projected to bring in $835,702 and the 1% in forgone taxes is set to collect $278,567. The $1.1 million will help clear up the city's financial picture.
