FISCAL YEAR
Warning Trend: Increasing net long-term debt as a Long-term debt
percentage of assessed valuation Assessed valuation
This chart shows the debt issued by Southlake that is supported by property tax revenues relative to the total assessed
valuation. Credit industry benchmarks state debt exceeding ten percent of assessed valuation as well as increasing long-
term debt as a percentage of assessed valuation are warning signals. Neither of these trends are reflected in this chart
which shows that the property tax supported long-term debt as a percentage of assessed valuation has been falling since
2003 and remains well below the ten percent benchmark. The City has established its own target of two percent or below,
as outlined in the Financial Principles section of the Appendix, and since 2007, our debt as a percentage of assessed
valuation has been at or below two percent.
