| PROPOSED TAX RATE | $0.07300 per $100 |
|---|---|
| NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE | $0.07001 per $100 |
| VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE | $0.07593 per $100 |
The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2025 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for Robertson County Emergency Services District from the same properties in both the 2024 tax year and the 2025 tax year.
The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that Robertson County Emergency Services District may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate.
The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that Robertson County Emergency Services District is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2025 tax year.
A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON September 9, 2025 AT 6:15 PM AT ROBERTSON COUNTY ESD CONFERENCE ROOM AT 285 COOKS LANE FRANKLIN, TEXAS 77856.
The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, Robertson County Emergency Services District is not required to hold an election at which voters may accept or reject the proposed tax rate. However, you may express your support for or opposition to the proposed tax rate by contacting the members of the Commissioners of Robertson County Emergency Services District at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
