Subject: | Pursuant to the Property Tax Code, § 26.05(d) propose a tax rate, or pursuant to the Property Tax Code, § 26.05(a), adopt a tax rate for El Paso County. |
Background: | The No New Revenue Tax Rate as calculated by the Tax Assessor Collector was $0.470181 per $100 taxable property value. The tax rate being recommended for proposal is the Voter Approval Tax Rate of $0.482502 per $100 taxable property value and is composed of a maintenance and operations tax rate of $0.444331 and an interest and sinking tax rate of $0.038171 per $100 taxable property value and is in accordance with the financial policy. |

The proposed tax rate could result in approximately $5.8 million more in revenue than the No New Revenue Tax Rate. |
