NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON TAX INCREASE
A tax rate of $1.230850 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of TOWN OF HOLIDAY LAKES.
PROPOSED TAX RATE.................... $1.230850 per $100
NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE....... $1.060907 per $100
VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE ....... $1.099712 per $100
DE MINIMIS RATE ......................... $2.697227 per $100
The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2024 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for TOWN OF HOLIDAY LAKES from the same properties in both the 2023 tax year and the 2024 tax year.
The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that TOWN OF HOLIDAY LAKES may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate, unless the de minimis rate for TOWN OF HOLIDAY LAKES exceeds the voter-approval rate for TOWN OF HOLIDAY LAKES.
The de minimis rate is the rate equal to the sum of the no-new-revenue maintenance and operations rate for TOWN OF HOLIDAY LAKES, the rate that will raise $500,000, and the current debt rate for TOWN OF HOLIDAY LAKES.
The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that TOWN OF HOLIDAY LAKES is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2024 tax year.
A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON September 24, 2024 AT 7:00PM AT the Holiday Lakes Municipal Building, 195 North Texas Avenue, Town of Holiday Lakes, Texas 77515.
The proposed tax rate is greater than the voter-approval tax rate but not greater than the de minimis rate. However, the proposed tax rate exceeds the rate that allows voters to petition for an election under Section 26.075, Tax Code. If TOWN OF HOLIDAY LAKES adopts the proposed tax rate, the qualified voters of the TOWN OF HOLIDAY LAKES may petition the TOWN OF HOLIDAY LAKES to require an election to be held to determine whether to reduce the proposed tax rate. If a majority of the voters reject the proposed tax rate, the tax rate of the TOWN OF HOLIDAY LAKES will be the voter-approval tax rate of the TOWN OF HOLIDAY LAKES.

FOR the proposal: Mayor Pro Tem Disa Schulze, Alderman Lorenzo Macias, Alderwoman Kay Young
