2015 Property Tax Rates in CITY OF LA FERIA
This notice concerns 2015 property tax rates for CITY OF LA FERIA. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year's tax rate is the actual rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This year's effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year's rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers can start tax rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.
Last year's tax rate: Last year's operating taxes $481,480 Last year's debt taxes $914,299 Last year's total taxes $1,395,779 Last year's tax base $174,241,727 Last year's total tax rate 0.713587/$100
This year's effective tax rate: Last year's adjusted taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property) $1,204,560 ÷ This year's adjusted tax base (after subtracting value of new property) $174,804,168 = This year's effective tax rate 0.689091/$100
This year's rollback tax rate: Last year's adjusted operating taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property and adjusting for any transferred function, tax increment financing, state criminal justice mandate and/or enhanced indigent health care expenditures) $389,673 ÷ This year's adjusted tax base $174,804,168 = This year's effective operating rate 0.222919/$100 × 1.08 = this year's maximum operating rate 0.240752/$100 + This year's debt rate 0.519687/$100 = This year's rollback rate 0.760439/$100
Statement of Increase/Decrease If CITY OF LA FERIA adopts a 2015 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of 0.689091 per $100 of value, taxes would decrease compared to 2014 taxes by $14,199.
Schedule A: Unencumbered Fund Balances: The following estimated balances will be left in the unit's property tax accounts at the end of the fiscal year. These balances are not encumbered by a corresponding debt obligation.
Type of Property Tax Fund Balance Debt Service $0
Schedule B: 2015 Debt Service: The unit plans to pay the following amounts for long-term debts that are secured by property taxes. These amounts will be paid from property tax revenues (or additional sales tax revenues, if applicable).
