NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
ON TAX INCREASE
A tax rate of $0.336365 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of City of Tomball.
PROPOSED TAX RATE $0.0.336365 per $100
NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE $0.268303 per $100
VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE $0.336365 per $100
The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2024 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for City of Tomball from the same properties in both the 2023 tax year and the 2024 tax year.
The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that City of Tomball 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 City of Tomball is
proposing to increase property taxes for the 2024 tax year.
A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON October 7, 2024 AT 6:00 PM AT City Hall, 401 Market Street, Tomball, Texas 77375.
The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, City of Tomball 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 City Council of City of Tomball at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
