The New Prague City Council at its Monday meeting unanimously approved a resolution adopting the 2008 payable 2009 tax levy.

The levy is approximately $3.4 million, an increase of $143,076 or 4.3 percent more than the 2008 tax levy of $3.3 million. For a resident with a $204,507 house they will be paying about $14 more than 2008.

The approval of the levy comes after New Prague's Truth in Taxation meeting on Monday, Dec. 8.
