Nassau Bay City Council on Monday voted 6-1, with Brad Bailey opposed, to adopt a property tax rate of $0.732120 per $100 valuation for 2012.

The rate is 0.22 percent less than the effective tax rate of $0.733702 per $100 valuation, which would provide revenues equal to the previous fiscal year.

A public hearing was held prior to the adoption of the tax rate.
