Aside from the property tax hike, the biggest revenue boosters to help close next year’s budget gap include a boost to the personal property lease tax from 9 percent to 11 percent, and the amusement tax on streaming services from 9 percent to 10.25 percent. The lease tax is charged on cars and equipment as well as software and cloud computing leases, and boosting it is expected to bring in another $128, while the streaming upcharge would bring in another roughly $13 million.
