20 13 Property Rates in City of Kennedale
This notice concerns the 2013 property tax rates for City of Kennedale. It presents information about
three tax rates. Last year's tax rate is the actual tax rate the taxing unit used to determine property
taxes last year. This year's effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you
compare properties taxed in both years. This year's rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing
unit can set before taxpayers start 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 of property value.
Last year's tax rate:
Interest to be

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,
state criminal justice mandate, and/or enhanced indigent healthcare expenditures) $3,382,718
This year's adjusted tax base $539,805,705
=This year's effective operating rate $0.626655/$100
x 1.08=this year's maximum operating rate $0.676787/$100

= This year's total rollback rate $0.863833/$100
-Sales tax adjustment rate $0.0591551$100
= Rollback tax rate $0.80467 /$100
Statement of Increase/Decrease
If City of Kennedale adopts a 2013 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of $0.730461 per $100 of
value, taxes would increase compared to 2012 taxes by $100,462.
