Council Meeting Date: 8-24-2006
Agenda No.B.1
Subject: GN 2006-073 Conduct Public Hearing on Proposed Tax Rate
Per Senate Bills 18 and 567 enacted in the 79th Session of the Texas Legislature, the
City of North Richland Hills is required to hold two public hearings on the proposed
property tax rate because the proposed rate of 57 ¢ is higher than the effective tax rate
of 56.7969¢.
This is the first of the two required public hearings. Notice of this public hearing was
duly posted in the Northeast Section of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on August 17,
2006 per state law. The statute requires us to phrase the notice of public hearing on the
tax rate as a tax increase because the proposed tax rate is above the effective tax rate.
As you may remember, the effective tax rate is basically the property tax rate necessary
to produce the same amount of property tax revenues as the prior year. The second of
the required public hearings will be August 28, 2006 during the City Council meeting.
The tax rate is scheduled to be adopted on September 11, 2006 during the regular 7:00
pm City Council meeting. The proposed tax rate for Fiscal Year 2006-2007 is 57¢. The
City has maintained a 57 ¢ tax rate for 14 consecutive years.
Individual taxpayers' property taxes may decrease, increase or stay the same
depending on the appraised value. Senior and disabled property owners who have a tax
ceiling (even if their property values have increased) will pay the same amount of
property tax as the previous year.
The City of North Richland Hills is proud of the progress we have made while
demonstrating sound financial management of our Citizen's tax dollars.
Recommendation:
To open the public hearing and receive public comments on the proposed 57¢ tax rate
and announce September 11, 2006 as the date of the tax rate adoption. No action is
required at this hearing as this is held solely for the purpose of receiving comments. As
stated, action on the tax rate is proposed for the September 11 Council meeting.
