The details surrounding the 2024 tax rates have been released and the numbers are a source of debate for the taxpayers of League City. According to a notice published today, the no-new-revenue tax rate is set at $0.371461 per $100 of property value. This rate, which should yield the same total tax revenue as the previous year, factors in properties that were on the tax roll last year and adjusts for changes in property values.
In contrast, the voter-approval tax rate, which is essentially the ceiling before an election is triggered to authorize a higher rate, is set at $0.448458 per $100 of property value, noticeably higher than the no-new-revenue rate. The calculation of these rates takes into account the total tax revenue and, the taxable value of properties within the city, with necessary adjustments as dictated by state legislation. League City officials emphasize that these rates are crucial for setting the fiscal budget and funding various city services.
