2026 NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE
$ 0.100390 per $100 appraised value
The No New Revenue Tax Rate is the tax rate for the 2026 tax year that will generate the same amount of property tax revenue for Harris County Emergency Service District 47 from the same properties taxed in both the 2025 tax year and the 2026 tax year. This rate was calculated by dividing the District's year 2025 Adjusted Tax Levy of $5,703,102 by the District's Year 2026 Adjusted Taxable Value of $5,680914619 and then multiplying the result by $100.
2026 VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE
$ 0.111869 per $100 appraised value
The Voter Approval Tax Rate is the tax rate for the 2026 tax year that will increase property tax revenue for Harris County Emergency Service District 47 by 3.5% over the District’s tax year 2025 amount. 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 tax 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. This rate was calculated by multiplying the District's year 2026 Adjusted No New Revenue Maintenance and Operations Tax Rate of $ 0.101972 per $100 appraised value by 1.035 [$0.105541] and adding the unused increment rate of $0.006328.
2026 De MINIMIS TAX RATE
$ 0.110593 per $100 appraised value
The De Minimis Tax Rate is the rate equal to the sum of the Tax Year 2026 No New Revenue Maintenance and Operations Tax Rate of $ 0.101972 per $100 appraised value for Harris County Emergency Services District 47, the rate that will raise $500,000 (dividing $500,000 by the District's year 2026 Total Taxable Value of $ 5,799,209,661 and multiplying the result by $100 to equal $0.008621), and the tax year 2026 Debt Tax Rate for Harris County Emergency Services District 47 ($ 0.00). If the proposed tax rate is greater than both the Voter Approval Tax Rate and the De Minimis Tax Rate, an election to seek voter approval of the proposed rate is required by state law.
