Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase

​​A​ tax rate of $0.110028 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of Dallas College.

 

PROPOSED TAX RATE

$0.110028 per $100

 

NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE

$0.099353 per $100

 

VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE

$0.110029 per $100


The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2023 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for Dallas College from the same properties in both the 2022 tax year and the 2023 tax year.

The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that Dallas College 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 Dallas College is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2023 tax year.

A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON September 12, 2023 At 4:00 pm At 1601 Botham Jean Blvd., Dallas TX 75215.

The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, Dallas College 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 Dallas College Board of Trustees of Dallas College at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.

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

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