Notice of Tax Rate and Budget

Creating a budget and adopting a property tax rate to support that budget are major functions of a taxing unit's governing body. This is accomplished by following truth-in-taxation requirements to ensure the public is informed of any increases. Truth-in-taxation is a concept embodied in the Texas Constitution that requires local taxing units to make taxpayers aware of tax rate proposals and to afford taxpayers the opportunity to roll back or limit tax increases. Property owners have the right to know about increases in their properties' appraised value and to be notified of the estimated taxes that could result from the new value. 

This webpage complies with Sec 26.18 Posting of Tax Rate and Budget Information by Taxing Unit on Website.
 

Public Notices

Taxing units are required to publish their calculated effective and rollback tax rates. Counties and cities must meet publishing requirements in the Local Government Code.
