This is the second of two public hearings regarding the proposed tax rate for the Town of Addison and will be held on September 4, 2018 at 5:00 pm in the Council Chambers. The first hearing was held on August 28, 2018.
The proposed property tax rate for the fiscal year 2019 is $0.550000 per $100 of valuation. The proposed rate is made of the following components:
The State's Truth-in-Taxation law also requires calculation and publication of each taxing entity's effective tax and rollback tax rate:

Definition
Amount (per $100 of valuation)
Effective Tax Rate
Rate needed to raise the same amount of property tax revenue for the Town from the same properties in 2017.
$0.527064
Rollback Tax Rate
Highest tax rate that the Town may adopt before voters are entitled to petition for an election to limit the rate to the rollback rate.
$0.553323
These rates were published in the August 17, 2018 edition of the Dallas Morning News. Included with this agenda item is a copy of the publication notice.
The City Manager's proposed budget recommends a property tax rate of $0.550000 per $100 valuation, which exceeds the effective tax rate. This proposed rate is the same as last year's adopted rate of $0.550000 per $100 of valuation.
The average home value for the Town of Addison is $319,582 which generate a tax bill of $1,757.70. Last year the average home value was $299,911 which generated a tax bill of $1,649.51. The average tax payer would pay about $108.19 more in property taxes than last year. (Individual taxes may increase or decrease depending on the change in the taxable value of your property).
The final vote on the property tax rate and adoption of the Fiscal Year 2019 budget is scheduled on September 11, 2018 in the Council Chambers at 7:30 pm.
