A tax rate of $0.0775 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of Rusk County Emergency Service District #1

PROPOSED TAX RATE $ 0.0775 / $100

NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE $: 0.067336 / $100

VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE $: 0.078669 / $100

DE MINIMIS RATE $: 0.083484 / $100

The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2023 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax

revenue for Rusk County Emergency Service District #1 from the same properties in both the 2022 tax year and the

2023 tax year.

The voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate that Rusk County Emergency Service District #1 may adopt without

holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate, unless the de minimis rate for Rusk County Emergency Service

District #1 exceeds the voter-approval tax rate for Rusk County Emergency Service District #1.

The de minimis rate is the rate equal to the sum of the no-new-revenue maintenance and operations rate for Rusk

County Emergency Service District #1 the rate that will raise $500,000, and the current debt rate for Rusk County

Emergency Service District #1.

The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that Rusk County Emergency Service

District #1 is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2023 tax year.

A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON August 24, 2023 at 6:30 p.m. at 212 N. Van Buren

St., Henderson, Texas

The proposed tax rate is greater than the voter-approval tax rate but not greater than the de minimis rate and does not

exceed the rate that allows voters to petition for an election under Section 26.075, Tax Code. If Rusk County Emergency

Service District #1 adopts the proposed tax rate, Rusk County Emergency Service District #1 is not required to hold

an election so that the voters may accept or reject the proposed tax rate and the qualified voters of the Rusk County

Emergency Service District #1 may not petition the Rusk County Emergency Service District #1 to require an election to

be held to determine whether to reduce the proposed tax rate.
