[ARCHIVED] Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON TAX INCREASE 

A tax rate of $0.491818 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of City of Coppell.

PROPOSED TAX RATE           $.0491818 per $100
NO-NEW-REVENUE RATE    $0.477650 per $100
VOTER-APPROVAL RATE      $0.568570 per $100

The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2023 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for the City of Coppell from the same properties in both the 2022 tax year and the 2023 tax year.

The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that the City of Coppell may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate.

The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that the City of Coppell is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2023 tax year.

A PUBLIC HEARING TO VOTE ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON AUGUST 22, 2023, AT 7:30 P.M. AT CITY HALL IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS, LOCATED AT 255 PARKWAY BOULEVARD, COPPELL, TEXAS 75019.

The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, the City of Coppell is not required to hold an election at which voters may accept or reject the proposed tax rate. However, you may express your support for or opposition to the proposed tax rate by contacting the members of the City of Coppell City Council of City of Coppell at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.

YOUR TAXES OWED UNDER ANY OF THE RATES MENTIONED ABOVE CAN BE CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS:
