2009 Property Tax Rates in CITY OF KE NNEDALE
This notice concerns 2009 property tax rates for CITY OF KENNEDALE.
It presents information about three tax rates. Last year's tax rate is the
actual 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 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 of
property value.
Last year's tax rate:
Last year's operating taxes $2,890,820
Last year's debt taxes $778,591
Last year's total taxes $3,669,411
Last year's tax base $507,876,955
Last year's total tax rate 0.722500 /$100
This year's effective tax rate:
Last year's adjusted taxes $3,662,975
(after subtracting taxes on lost property)
This year's adjusted tax base $516,428,729
(after subtracting value of new property)
This year's effective tax rate 0.709289 /$100
(Maximum rate unless unit publishes notices and holds hearings)
This year's rollback tax rate:
Last year's adjusted operating taxes (after $3,209,028
subtracting taxes on lost property and
adjusting for any transferred function, tax
increment financing, state criminal justice
mandate, and/or enhanced indigent health
care expenditures)
This year's adjusted tax base $516,428,729
This year's effective operating rate 0.621388 /$100
x 1.08 = this year's maximum operating rate 0.671099 /$100
+ This year's debt rate 0.149771 /$100
17 , fi YA1
This year's total rollback rate
0.820870 /$100
Sales tax adjustment rate 0.061224 /$100
Rollback tax rate 0.759646 /$100
Statement of Increase/Decrease
If CITY OF KENNEDALE adopts a 2009 tax rate equal to the effective tax
rate of $0.709289 per $100 of value, taxes would increase compared to
2008 taxes by $75,617.
