2023 NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE
$0.073242 per $100 appraised value

This rate was calculated by dividing the District's year 2022 Adjusted Tax Levy of $4,072,954 by the District's year 2023 Adjusted Taxable Value of $5,560,950,157 and then multiplying the result by $100.
2023 VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE
$0.075806 per $100 appraised value
The Voter Approval Tax Rate is the tax rate for the 2023 tax year that will increase property tax revenue for Harris County Emergency Service District 47 by 3.5%. The Voter Approval Tax Rate is the highest tax rate that Harris County Emergency Services District 47 may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the proposed rate, unless the De Minimis Tax Rate for Harris County Emergency Services District 47 exceeds the Voter Approval Tax Rate for Harris County Emergency Services District 47.
