     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.

     School districts do not use this form, but instead use Comptroller Form 50-859 Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet for School Districts.

     Water districts as defined under Water Code Section 49.001(1) do not use this form, but instead use Comptroller Form 50-858 Water District
     Rollback Tax Rate Worksheet.

     This worksheet is provided to assist taxing units in determining tax rates. The information provided in this worksheet is offered as technical
     assistance and not legal advice. Taxing units should consult legal counsel for interpretations of law regarding tax rate preparation and adoption.
     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.
