Property Tax Reform –SB 2
•New legislation limits Texas governments’ ability to raise maintenance and operations (M&O) property tax revenues above 3.5% without voter approval.
•Calculate the voter-approval rate at 3.5% (formerly rollback rate)
•Voter -approval rate = (No-New-Revenue Maintenance and Operations Rate x 1.035) + current debt service rate
•After the assessor submits the appraisal roll to the governing body, an officer or employee designated by the City (Town) shall calculate the no-new-revenue tax rate, and the voter-approval tax rate for the taxing unit.
•A City (Town) Council may direct the designated officer or employee to calculate the voter-approval tax rate in the manner provided for a special taxing unit (8 percent) if any part of the City (Town) is located in an area declared a disaster area during the current tax year by the governor or by the president of the United States.
