Council adopted $0.574017, five cents above the $0.524017 voter-approval rate, subject to Proposition Q. Voters rejected the increment.
No-new-revenue
A statutory calculation intended to produce roughly the prior year's levy from property taxed in both years, after adjustments.
Voter-approval
A statutory threshold built from maintenance-and-operations, debt, and allowed adjustments. The formula depends on the taxing unit.
Proposed maximum
A ceiling used for notice and hearing. It is not necessarily the final adopted rate.
Adopted
The governing body's rate vote. If it exceeds the applicable threshold, Texas law may require or permit an election process.
“No-new-revenue” does not mean every homeowner pays the same bill. Individual values, exemptions, and new improvements vary.
