determined by the debt rate needed to pay for the City's bonded indebtedness and
               funds needed for maintenance and operation funding in the General Fund.

               Colleyville’s property valuations for tax year 2020 (fiscal year 2021) are valued at
               $5,966,966,320, and includes $72,877,040 in new construction. This represents an
               increase of $127,137,303 (2.2%) over the fiscal year 2020 taxable value. The total
               taxable  value  includes  TIF  zone  property,  which  has  a  combined  taxable  value
               increment of $450,961,761 (TIF Zone #1 adopted in 1998- $435,298,848 and TIF
               Zone #1A adopted in 2012- $15,662,913). The final TIF value is subject to change,
               as  valuation  is  still  under  appeal. However,  this  does  represent  an  increase  of
               $12,190,121 (2.5%) over the current year TIF valuation.

               The  fiscal  year  2021  budget  includes  a  property  tax  rate  of  $0.304365  per  $100
               value. The tax rate is comprised of an operation and maintenance rate of $0.289441,
               and an interest and sinking rate of $0.014925. The latter component provides funding
               for retirement of the annual debt obligations. The following table provides historical
               information on the City’s tax rate, average residential property value, and average

               Sales Tax
               The second major financial consideration guiding development of the budget is sales
               tax revenue. The City collects a total two percent sales tax: one percent for General
               Fund  with  the  remaining  one  percent  allocated  for  two  half-cent  special  purpose
               districts. Sales tax has been budgeted at a conservative 1.5 percent increase for fiscal
               year 2021 compared to fiscal year 2020, and with modest growth projected in future
               years.

               Licenses and Permits
               The City has conservatively budgeted license and permit revenue for fiscal year 2021,
               acknowledging the early stages of new residential development trends in Colleyville.
               Large subdivisions are reaching conclusion and smaller infill projects are coming into
               the City. More and more, the City is seeing remodel and redevelopment in the shape
               of tear down, build new. As such, revenue projections have been reduced by $90,000
