The City of Lancaster adopted its 2023 budget on December 20, 2022, which includes a proposed 8 percent property tax increase—the first increase in four years. Mayor Danene Sorace noted that the increase was necessary due to rising costs in medical expenses, pension contributions, and inflation that exceeded savings achieved through fee increases, efficiency improvements, and debt refinancing. The mayor emphasized a structural budget challenge: property taxes, the city's largest revenue source at approximately $30 million annually, do not cover public safety expenses (police and fire), which comprise roughly 60 percent of the total budget.
