TOWN OF FULTON
PUBLIC HEARING
REGARDING PROPOSED BUDGET
FOR 2019-20 FISCAL YEAR
Monday, September 9, 2019
5:00PM
The Town of Fulton will hold a PUBLIC HEARING in the Town of Fulton Council Chambers located at 201 North 7th Street, Fulton, Texas, to discuss the FY 2019-20 budget proposed for adoption by the governing body of the Town of Fulton.
This budget will raise more total property taxes than last year's budget by $25,046 or 5.17%, and of that amount, $10,812 is tax revenue to be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year.
The Town of Fulton encourages citizens to participate and make their views known at this Public Hearing. The facility and parking spaces where this meeting is to be held are handicap accessible.
A tax rate of $0.239990 per $100 valuation has been proposed for adoption by the governing body of Town of Fulton. This rate exceeds the lower of the effective or rollback tax rate, and state law requires that two public hearings be held by the governing body before adopting the proposed tax rate.
The governing body of Town of Fulton proposes to use revenue attributable to the tax rate increase for the purpose of street repairs and funding essential governing services.
| PROPOSED TAX RATE | $0.239990 per $100 |
| PRECEDING YEAR'S TAX RATE | $0.262272 per $100 |
| EFFECTIVE TAX RATE | $0.232767 per $100 |
| ROLLBACK TAX RATE | $0.242022 per $100 |
The effective tax rate is the total tax rate needed to raise the same amount of property tax revenue for Town of Fulton from the same properties in both the 2018 tax year and the 2019 tax year.
The rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate that Town of Fulton may adopt before voters are entitled to petition for an election to limit the rate that may be approved to the rollback rate.
YOUR TAXES OWED UNDER ANY OF THE ABOVE RATES CAN BE CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS:
property tax amount= (rate) x (taxable value of your property)/100
