BUDGET & TAX RATE PUBLIC NOTICES ▲

NOTICE OF 2019 TAX YEAR PROPOSED
PROPERTY TAX RATE FOR CITY OF DRIPPING SPRINGS

A tax rate of $0.1900 per $100 valuation has been proposed for adoption by the governing body of City of Dripping Springs. This rate exceeds the lower of the effective or rollback tax rate, and state law requires that two public hearings be held by the governing body before adopting the proposed tax rate.

The governing body of City of Dripping Springs proposes to use revenue attributable to the tax rate increase for the purpose of transportation improvements.

	PROPOSED TAX RATE	$0.1900 per $100
	PRECEDING YEAR'S TAX RATE	$0.1900 per $100
	EFFECTIVE TAX RATE	$0.1746 per $100
	ROLLBACK TAX RATE	$0.3106 per $100

The effective tax rate is the total tax rate needed to raise the same amount of property tax revenue for City of Dripping Springs from the same properties in both the 2018 tax year and the 2019 tax year.

The rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate that City of Dripping Springs may adopt before voters are entitled to petition for an election to limit the rate that may be approved to the rollback rate.

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

property tax amount= (rate) x (taxable value of your property)/100
