STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS

A very important financial resource for the City is the ad valorem tax better known as the

property tax It is important for all citizens to fully understand the makeup ofthe taxes levied on

their properties The following synopsis provides abasic working knowledge ofproperty taxes

and how they are determined

The State of Texas determines which cities school districts counties and special districts are

allowed to levy for property taxes Several years ago the State Legislature provided for the

establishment ofcounty appraisal districts The purpose of appraisal districts is to determine the

fair market value of all taxable property within a specific county The taxable value ofpropertyis determined as of January 1 stofeach year

The appraisal district notifies taxpayers oftheir assessed property valuations in March and allows

the valuations to be challenged if the valuations are believed to be in error A Tax AppraisalReview Board hears all tax protests and determines if the original valuation is correct or in error

On May 15th of each year the appraisal district provides an estimate of total appraised propertyvalue to all taxing authorities This preliminary estimate is used by the City to help project what

revenues will be available in the next fiscal year The preliminary estimate while providingindications of an increasing or decreasing tax roll is subject to fluctuations because ofpossibletax protests mentioned above

The most important date relating to the appraisal district is July 25th On or about that date a

certified appraisal roll must be provided to all taxing authorities This certified roll provides a

basis upon which a tax rate may be determined in order to produce the necessary revenues to

operate City services Upon receipt of the certified appraisal roll the City must calculate the

effective tax rate the rollback tax rate and the proposed tax rate

Calculation and Publication of the Effective Tax Rate The effective tax rate produces thesame tax revenue for the upcoming budget year as the prior year when properties taxed in both

years are compared The objective of the effective tax rate is to generate equal tax revenues

using taxable valuations from different years State law requires that the effective tax rate be

published in the newspaper using aone quarter page ad

Calculation and Publication of the Rollback Tax Rate State law allows the City to assess

and collect up to 8 more revenue than what the effective tax rate would produce Ifa taxingauthority imposes a tax rate that produces revenue in excess of 8 over what the effective tax

rate will produce taxpayers may roll back the adopted rate to the 8 level Generally thisinvolves a petition ofeligible voters and arollback election State law requires that the rollbacktax rate be published in the newspaper using aone quarter page ad

14

Page 9: 04 Executive Summary - Cedar Hill, Texas

Calculation and Publication of the Proposed Tax Rate The proposed tax rate is the rate that

when applied to the certified appraisal roll will produce adequate revenue to fund City services

and bonded debt payments for the upcoming fiscal year State law requires that the proposed tax

rate be published in the newspaper using a one quarter page ad If the proposed tax rate raises

more revenue than the amount raised in the previous year then the notice and hearing provisionsapply as required by state law Cedar Hill officials elected to adopt a proposed tax rate for FY

2008 2009 of 0 6414 A record vote was taken and the City Council set the public hearing on

the proposed budget on September 23rd The Annual Budget was adopted on September 23rd

The City Charter states in part that the City Council is authorized to levy an ad valorem tax on

all real personal or mixed property within the territorial limits ofCedar Hill State law providesthat the ad valorem tax rate is not to exceed a total of 2 50 per each 100 of assessed valuation

of said property For FY 2008 2009 the tax rate 0 64140 per 100 of assessed valuation is

25 7 ofthe legal limit

PROPERTY TAX RATE

There are two components ofthe property tax rate The first component is for maintenance and

operations while the second component relates to debt service requirements When the Cityissues long term debt it plans for repayment of the debt by levying a tax sufficient to cover

principal and interest requirements Revenues generated from tax rates that exceed this amount

may be used for general government operations The following table and chart depict the

adopted tax rates taxes collected and tax distribution in Cedar Hill for the past five years

In the following example the table shows the annual City tax bill for various property values in

past years and what each property owner should expect on the upcoming tax bill

The City contracts with the County to send a tax bill to aproperty owner in Cedar Hill who owns

ahome valued at 100 000 The tax rate adopted for this year is 0 64140 per 100 of valuation

Therefore the City tax on the home is 64140 When the tax bill is paid the City divides the

payment into two portions One portion is for debt service and the other portion is for Cityoperations For FY 2008 2009 181 91 will be used for debt service requirements while the

remaining 45949 will be used to fund City operations For FY 2008 2009 the Maintenance

and Operation M and 0 Tax Rate will remain at 045949 and the Interest and Sinking Iand

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The City s finances are accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accountingprinciples GAAP as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board GASB

The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its

measurement focus All Governmental Funds are accounted for using a current financial

resourcesmeasurement focus All Proprietary Funds are accounted for using a flow ofeconomic

resources measurement focus

Governmental Fund Types These include the General Fund Special Revenue Funds Debt

Service Fund and Capital Projects Fund Governmental Funds use a modified accrual basis of

accounting Under the modified accrual basis of accounting revenues are recognized when

susceptible to accrual that is when they are measurable and available Measurable means that

the amount of the transaction may be determined Available means that the amount of the

transaction is collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of

the current period Substantially all revenues are considered to be susceptible to accrual Ad

valorem sales and franchise tax revenues recorded in the General Fund and ad valorem tax

revenues recorded in the Debt Service Fund are recognized under the susceptible to accrual

concept Licenses and permits charges for services fines and forfeitures and miscellaneous

revenues excelt earnings on investments are recorded as revenues when received in cash

because they are generally not measurable until actually received Investment earnings are

recorded as earned since they are measurable and available Expenditures are recognized when

the related fund liability is incurred if measurable excelt for principal and interest on generallong term debt which is recorded when due and except for compensated absences that are

recorded when payable from currently available financial resources

Proprietary Fund Types These include the Enterprise Fund and the Internal Service Fund

The funds are accounted for on a flow ofeconomic resourcesmeasurement focus and use the full

accrual basis of accounting Under this method revenues are recorded when earned and

expenses are recorded at the time the liabilities are incurred This is different from the modified

accrual basis of accounting for general Governmental Funds where revenues are recognizedwhen they are measurable and available as explained above

Governmental Funds not directly recorded in those funds

The City s Annual Budget is prepared and adopted on a basis consistent with GAAP for all

Governmental Funds except the Capital Projects Fund that adopts project length budgets For

IMPACT OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS ON OPERATING

FUNDS TO THE CITY

Completion of capital improvement projects may have a financial impact on the City s operatingfunds because routine operational maintenance expenditures M and 0 are sometimes necessaryto utilize the completed project It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what M and 0 costs will be in

the first year of any new project or program Management understands that it takes at least one

full year of operation perhaps two years to adequately fund each line item account in a new

project or program Each year M and 0 estimates are projected along with theconstruction implementation costs for each programproject Those projections are used to

formulate the operational budgets for each applicable departmentfund

Future M and 0 for the current street improvements as authorized by the 1998 Street BondElection will be minimal because those street improvements are being done to major arterials in

the City Arterials provide for increased vehicle capacity Those arterials will be in excellentcondition for years to come
