It presents information about three tax rates. Last year's tax rate is the acti:al rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This yeais effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if ycu compare properties taxed in both years. This year's rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers can start tax rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 )f property value. Last year's tax rate: Last year's operating taxes Last year's debt taxes Last year's total taxes Last year's tax base Last year's total tax rate This year's effective tax rate: Last year's adjusted taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property) This year's adjusted tax base (after subtracting value of new property) = This year's effective tax rate 0.6231 /$100 (Maximum rate unless unit publishes notices and holds hearings.) This year's rollback tax rate: Last year's adjusted operating taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property and adjusting for any transferred function, tax increment financing, and/or enhanced indigent health care expenditures) This year's adjusted tax base = This year's effective operating rate x 1.08 = this year's maximum operating rate + This year's debt rate = This year's total rollback rate - Sales tax adjustment rate = Rollback tax rate $9,742,323 $1,471,799 $11,214,122 $1,756,322,944 0.6385 /$100 $11,145,214 $1,788,632,978 $10,668,130 $1,788,632,978 0.5964 /$100 0.6441 /$100 0.0797 /$100 . 0.7238 /$100 0.0535 /$100 0.6703 /$100 Statement of Increase/Decrease If City of Friendswood adopts a 2005 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of $0.6231 per $100 of value, taxes would increase compared to 2004 taxes by $251,507. Schedule A - Unencumbered Fund Balances The following estimated balances will be left in the unit's property tax accounts at the end of the fiscal year.
