BACKGROUND Chapter 26 of the Property Tax Code requires taxing units to comply with truth -in -taxation laws in adopting their tax rate and requires the governing body to hold two public hearings when the proposed tax rate exceeds the lower of the rollback rate or the effective rate. Administration recommends Council establish a tax rate required to support the City Manager's proposed budget equal to the current tax rate of $0.69/$100 of valuation. In accordance with Chapter 26 of the Property Tax Code, if the proposed rate exceeds the lower of the rollback rate of $.733081/$l 00 or the effective tax rate of $.676932/$100, the City Council must take a record vote to place the proposal to adopt the rate on the agenda of a future meeting. The effective tax rate is the rate that would produce the same amount of taxes in FY 2017 as was produced in FY 2016 if it was applied to the same properties taxed in both years. The proposed tax rate of $0.690000/$100 exceeds the effective tax rate of $.676932/$100 by $.013068/$100 or 1.9%. If the motion passes, two public hearings must be scheduled.
