Notice of Effective Tax Rate - 20132013 Property Tax Rates in City of Schertz This notice concerns the 2013 property tax rates for City of Schertz. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year’s tax rate is the actual tax rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This year’s effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year’s rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers start rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value. Last year’s tax rate: Last year’s operating taxes $6,981,121 Last year’s debt taxes $4,678,960 Last year’s total taxes $11,660,081 Last year’s tax base $2,332,482,697 Last year’s total tax rate $0.4999/$100 This year’s effective tax rate: Last year’s adjusted taxes $11,618,075 (after subtracti?????ng taxes on lost property) ÷ This year’s adjusted tax base $2,405,668,244 (after subtracting value of new property) =This year’s effective tax rate $0.4829/$100 (Maximum rate unless unit publishes notices and holds hearings.) This year’s rollback tax rate: Last year’s adjusted operating taxes $6,956,208 (after subtracting taxes on lost property and adjusting for any transferred function, tax increment financing, state criminal justice mandate, and/or enhanced indigent healthcare expenditures) ÷ This year’s adjusted tax base $2,405,668,244 =This year’s effective operating rate $0.2892/$100 x 1.08=this year’s maximum operating rate $0.3123/$100 + This year’s debt rate $0.2095/$100 = This year’s total rollback rate $0.5218/$100 Statement of Increase/Decrease If City of Schertz adopts a 2013 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of $0.4829 per $100 of value, taxes would increase compared to 2012 taxes by $296,929.
