Form 50-883 UpdatedNOTICE OF MEETING TO VOTE ON TAX RATE
A tax rate of $0.4950 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of City of Schertz.
PROPOSED TAX RATE $0.4950 per $100
NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE $0.4526 per $100
VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE $0.4968 per $100
The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2022 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax
revenue for the City of Schertz from the same properties in both the 2021 tax year and the 2022 tax year.
The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that the City of Schertz 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 Schertz is proposing to
increase property taxes for the 2022 tax year.
A PUBLIC MEETING TO VOTE ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2022
AND SEPTEMBER 13, 2022 AT 6:00 PM AT THE SCHERTZ COUNCIL CHAMBERS.
The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, the City of Schertz 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 Council of the City of Schertz at
their offices or by attending the public meeting mentioned above.
YOUR TAXES OWED UNDER ANY OF THE TAX RATES CAN BE CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS:
property tax amount= (tax rate) x (taxable value of your property)/100
FOR the proposal: Mark Davis, Jill Whittaker, Michael Dahle, Allison Heyward, and Tim Brown
AGAINST the proposal: David Scagliola
