Property taxes are going up in Gainesville, even while the rate goes down. After a third public hearing Tuesday night, the City Council voted 4-2 to formally approve a property tax increase to pay off debt and support local parks. Council members Sam Couvillon and George Wangemann dissented, and Mayor Danny Dunagan cast the fourth vote necessary to break the impasse.
