This is the second of two required public hearings. No action is required at this hearing as this is held for the purpose of receiving public comment. General Description: State legislation requires the City to hold two public hearings on the proposed property tax rate if the proposed rate exceeds the lower of the effective tax rate or the rollback rate. For Fiscal Year 2012 -2013, the effective tax rate is 55.98880 and the rollback rate is 62.09370. Because the proposed 610 tax rate exceeds the effective tax rate two public hearings will be required. This is the second of the two required public hearings. This first public hearing was held on Monday, August 27, 2012 as part of the regular City Council meeting. The vote to adopt the proposed tax rate of 61C is scheduled to appear on the September 10, 2012 Council agenda for the regular 7:00 p.m. City Council meeting. If adopted, this will raise the property tax rate 4C over the previous 570 tax rate. This 4C increase is directly attributable to the issuance of bonds for the construction of a new municipal complex, approved by voters in the May 2012 bond election. Prior to this increase, the City of North Richland Hills had maintained a tax rate of 57C for nineteen consecutive years. Individual taxpayers' property taxes may decrease, increase or remain the same depending on the appraised value of their property. Senior and disabled property owners that have a tax ceiling (even if their property values have increased) will pay the same amount of property tax as the previous year unless their appraised property value decreased. They then would pay a lesser amount of property tax. Recommendation: Open the public hearing, receive public comments on the proposed 61(D tax rate, announce September 10, 2012 as the date of the vote on the adoption of the tax rate and close the public hearing.
