The City of Longview has issued an official notice announcing an upcoming public hearing on proposed amendments to Chapter 5.06 of the Longview Municipal Code, which governs the city’s utility tax structure. According to the notice posted on the city’s municipal website at City of Longview News Flash, the hearing will provide an opportunity for residents to comment on the revisions under consideration by city officials.

The notice states that the Longview City Council will review the proposed amendments during a scheduled public meeting. Public hearings of this type are a standard requirement when changes to municipal tax codes are proposed, ensuring residents receive formal notification and an opportunity to participate in the decision-making process. While the city’s notice outlines the purpose of the hearing, it also underscores that any member of the public may attend and provide comment.

Amendments to LMC Chapter 5.06 typically address adjustments to how the city assesses taxes on utilities such as electricity, water, sewer, telephone service, or natural gas. Although the current notice does not detail the specific changes under review, the published announcement confirms that revisions to the code will be formally presented and discussed during the hearing. Any resident or business affected by utility tax updates will be able to offer feedback directly to councilmembers.

Public hearings continue to play a central role in local governance, especially for matters such as taxation that directly impact households and businesses across the city. The City of Longview’s posting reaffirms that public involvement is both encouraged and procedurally built into the municipal code amendment process.
