NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON TAX INCREASE - Tuesday, September 19, 2023 @ 630pm.

A tax rate of $0.173646 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of the TOWN OF BARTONVILLE.

PROPOSED TAX RATE                  $0.173646 per $100 
NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE     $0.150525 per $100 
VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE      $0.187639 per $100

The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2023 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for the TOWN OF BARTONVILLE from the same properties in both the 2022 tax year and the 2023 tax year.

The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that the TOWN OF BARTONVILLE 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 the TOWN OF BARTONVILLE is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2023 tax year.

A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON September 19, 2023 at 6:30PM at the Town of Bartonville, Texas, 1941 E Jeter Road, Bartonville, Texas 76226.

The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, TOWN OF BARTONVILLE 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 Town Council of TOWN OF BARTONVILLE at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
