PUBLIC HEARING
To receive public comment concerning the proposed 2008-2009 tax rate of 0.64146.
Pursuant to Section 26.06 of the Texas Property Tax Code, when a proposed tax rate exceeds the notice-and-hearing
limit, the taxing unit's governing body must hold two (2) public hearings on the proposal. At these hearings, taxpayers
must have the opportunity to express their views on the proposed increase. The governing body may not adopt the
tax rate at these hearings; and, must announce the date and time of the meeting at which it will vote on the tax rate.
The meeting to adopt the 2008 tax rate must be at least three (3) days but no more than fourteen (14) days after the
public hearing.
$PHTaxRate-1AR
The City of Coppell will hold two public hearings on a proposal to increase total tax
revenues from properties on the tax roll in the preceding tax year by 2.40 percent
(percentage by which proposed tax rate exceeds lower of rollback tax rate or effective tax
rate calculated under Chapter 26, Tax Code). Your individual taxes may increase at a
greater or lesser rate, or even decrease, depending on the change in the taxable value of
your property in relation to the change in taxable value of all other property and the tax
rate that is adopted.
