GENERAL INFORMATION: Tax Code Section 26.04(c) requires an officer or employee designated by the governing body to calculate the
effective tax rate and rollback tax rate for the taxing unit. These tax rates are expressed in dollars per $100 of taxable value calculated. The
calculation process starts after the chief appraiser delivers to the taxing unit the certified appraisal roll and the estimated values of properties
under protest.

SECTION 1: Effective Tax Rate (No New Taxes)
The effective tax rate enables the public to evaluate the relationship between taxes for the prior year and for the current year based on a tax
rate that would produce the same amount of taxes (no new taxes) if applied to the same properties that are taxed in both years. When
appraisal values increase, the effective tax rate should decrease.
The effective tax rate for a county is the sum of the effective tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies.
