Discussion
In accordance with the "Truth in Taxation" laws of the State of Texas, on August 12, 2008, the City Council
took a roll call vote on the proposed tax rate and scheduled two public hearings on the tax rate. The first public
hearing is to be held on August 21, 2008. The second public hearing is scheduled for August 26, 2008. The
notice for the two public hearings was published in the Dallas Morning News, Collin County Addition, on
August 14, 2008 and the Wylie News on August 20, 2008. The purpose of both public hearings is to give the
taxpayers an opportunity to express their views on the tax rate. At the end of the second hearing, the City
Council must set and announce the date, time, and place of the meeting at which it will vote on the final
proposed tax rate. Currently the date has been set for September 9, 2008.
The official detailed effective tax rate calculations are available in the office of the Collin County Tax
Assessor/Collector (Kenneth L. Maun) in McKinney. A copy is also maintained in the Finance Department for
the Council and public to view.
The proposed budget is based on the tax rate of $0.8989 per $100 valuation. This is the rate previously
proposed by the Council. Any change in the proposed tax rate will require revision of the proposed budget.
The City is required by law to follow certain meeting and notice (publication) guidelines.
