Revenue Neutral Rate FAQs
What is a Revenue Neutral Rate (RNR)?
– The tax rate in mills that would generate the same property tax revenue in dollars as levied the previous tax year using the current tax year’s total assessed valuation. If the County were to stay revenue neutral every year, they would have to provide this year’s services, with this year’s prices, on last year’s budget.
Why is a Taxing Entity holding an RNR Hearing?
– If the Taxing Subdivision collects even one more dollar in property tax revenue, it exceeds the Revenue Neutral Rate and is required to hold an RNR hearing. This is in addition to their regular budget hearing.
What can I do if I don’t agree with the property valuation?
– In March, the Appraiser’s office mailed out valuations. The period for appealing your value has already lapsed. However, once you receive your tax bill, you can proceed to pay your taxes under protest. The Appraiser’s office will contact you to discuss the appeal at that time.
Who should I call if I have questions?
– Please reach out to each taxing entity on any questions regarding their budget.
