Berks County property taxes would increase for the first time in eight years under a proposed $462 million budget for 2013 presented to the Berks County commissioners Thursday.
If the budget would be adopted as it stands, annual taxes would rise by 6.3 percent to 7.372 mills from 6.935 mills, or $43.70 annually on a property assessed at $100,000.
The spending plan represents a $2.8 million decrease from the current year’s budget.
The tax increase would raise about $7.7 million, Budget Director Robert J. Patrizio Jr. said.
