No tax or water/sewer rate increases are planned in the 2016-17 budget approved by the Gainesville City Council on Tuesday night. The $33.5 million budget marks an 8.9 percent, or about $2.8 million, increase in spending for the new fiscal year beginning July 1. Officials have said new spending is a result of increased property tax revenues, which are up 4.4 percent, while the city has seen a 21.4 percent increase in permit and inspection fees resulting from new commercial and residential growth.
