    No, oddly enough a mayor does in fact have the authority to increase or decrease property taxes.

    He can also implement “special assessments” or “mansion taxes” o properties.

    He does have limits on who he can tax, it looks like the state controls the taxation for homesteads. Im not certain he can raise taxes on people with one home that they are currently living in (that may require state approval).
