A tax rate of $0.508835 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of the City of Log Cabin.
PROPOSED TAX RATE $0.508835 per $100
NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE $0.488055 per $100
VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE $0.516159 per $100
DE MINIMIS TAX RATE $1.236299 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 the City of Log Cabin 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 the City of Log Cabin may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate.
The de minimis rate is the rate equal to the sum of the no-new-revenue maintenance and operations rate for the City of Log Cabin, the rate that will raise $500,000, and the current debt rate for the City of Log Cabin.
The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that the City of Log Cabin is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2023 tax year.
A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET AND TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON Sept. 21st, 2023 at 7:00 pm at Log Cabin City Hall, 14387 Alamo Rd, Log Cabin, TX 75148.
The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate or the de minimis rate. As a result, the City of Log Cabin 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 Log Cabin City Council of the City of Log Cabin at City Hall or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
