Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris (in file photo) has proposed a county property tax rate of $3.45 and has said several times he does not favor going above it. But his administration outlined three scenarios last week for various property tax hikes. (Patrick Lantrip/Daily Memphian file)
The Monday, June 7, session of the County Commission could mark the end of the 2021 budget season with a series of final votes on a $1.4 billion consolidated budget and a county property tax rate considered stable if it drops from the current $4.05 to $3.45.
