CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Office of the City Manager DATE: August 29, 2019
SUBJECT: Conduct a public hearing on the Tax Year 2019 (Fiscal Year
2019/2020) proposed tax rate.
PRESENTER: Robert Myers, Budget Director
SUMMARY:
The City Council is requested to open a public hearing on the proposed $0.572000 per
$100 of valuation tax rate and receive public comment. At the conclusion of the public
comments, Council is requested to announce Monday, September 9, 2019 as the date of
the vote on the adoption of the tax rate. After this announcement, Council is requested
to close the public hearing. No action is required at this hearing as it 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 tax rate exceeds the lower of the effective tax rate or the rollback
tax rate. Because the proposed tax rate exceeds the effective tax rate of$0.556143 the
two public hearings are necessary. The first public hearing was held on Monday, August
26, 2019 during the regular 7.00 p.m City Council meeting in the City Council Chamber
at 4301 City Point Drive, North Richland Hills, TX 76180.
The vote to adopt the proposed tax rate of$0.572000 per $100 of valuation is scheduled
to appear as an action item on the Monday, September 9, 2019 Council agenda for the
regular 7.00 p.m. City Council meeting. If adopted, this will reduce the tax rate by $0.013.
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 city property tax as the previous year unless their appraised property value
decreased.
RECOMMENDATION:
Open the public hearing on the Tax Year 2019 (Fiscal Year 2019/2020) proposed tax
rate, receive public comments, announce Monday, September 9, 2019 as the date of the
vote on the adoption of the tax rate, and close the public hearing.
