​​NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON TAX INCREASE


A tax rate of $0.115899 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of Dallas College.

PROPOSED TAX RATE

$0.115899 per $100

NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE

$0.105608 per $100

VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE

$0.115900 per $100


The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2022 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for Dallas College from the same properties in both the 2021 tax year and the 2022 tax year.

The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that Dallas College 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 Dallas College is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2022 tax year.

A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON September 13, 2022 AT 04:00 PM AT 1601 Botham Jean Blvd., Dallas, TX 75215.

The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, Dallas College 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 Dallas College Board of Trustees of Dallas College at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
