Tax Rate Definitions

Proposed rate: This rate is presented to City Council for approval. This is the rate that the City has determined will raise the necessary revenue to fund public safety, public works, and quality of life projects that residents desire. As a result of changes implemented by the State legislation, City Council now considers a maximum rate that is published in the Notice of Meeting to Vote on Tax Rate prior to considering the proposed rate for approval.

No New Revenue Rate: This rate is not presented to City Council for approval. This rate has historically been referred to as the effective rate. It is the property tax rate that the City would need to set to not generate any additional revenue from the same property over the previous year if the properties were taxed in both years.

Voter Approval Rate: This rate is not presented to City Council for approval. This is the tax rate at which City Council would need to call an election to allow for voter approval. Under Senate Bill 2 from the 2019 legislative session, an election must be called if the proposed tax rate generates more than a 3.5% increase in revenue from existing property.
