Angleton City Council approved setting the city's tax rate at 49.29 cents per $100 of appraised property value, which is the no-new-revenue rate.
ANGLETON — Adopting the no-new-revenue rate means Angleton City Council is not expecting to get more money from existing properties next year.
The first step in the process was for the board to eliminate its need to levy a tax to pay its debt obligation, which commissioners did during a special board meeting Aug. 15 by voting to use $5.6 million from reserves to make the bond payments.
The motion to approve the propose rate of 0.00 cents per $100 of appraised value was clear 5-0. Secretary Barbara Fratila was absent.
The tax rate, which trustees approved unanimously, is part of a 30-cent reduction in the tax rate the district has approved in six years.
Trustees approved the tax rate at 95.08 cents per $100 of appraised value, which is a 0.25 cent decrease from last year's rate. Of the 95.08 cents, 73.55 per $100
