OK, now I am confused.

Is it a cap on the total taxes that can be raised?

or

Is it a cap on the tax rate?

It makes little sense to cap the rate as the it will change as a result of the simple calculation done each year.

Tax Rate = total taxes to be raised / (total value of property as currently valued / 1000)

The town can't fix the second half of the equation. It would be nice if they could control the first half.

I don't care if my rate goes down but my tax bill goes up.
