NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON TAX INCREASE
A tax rate of $0.646034 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of City of Duncanville.
PROPOSED TAX RATE $0.646034 per $100
NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE $0.601654 per $100
VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE $0.646157 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 City of Duncanville 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 City of Duncanville 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 City of Duncanville is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2023 tax year.
A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON September 19, 2023, AT 07:00 PM AT Council Chambers 203 E. Wheatland Rd, Duncanville, TX 75116.
The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, City of Duncanville 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 Duncanville City Council of City of Duncanville at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
