Notice of Meeting to Vote on 2026 Tax Rate

A tax rate of $0.10 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of Travis County Emergency Services District No. 10.

NO-NEW REVENUE TAX RATE	$0.10000 per $100
PROPOSED TAX RATE	$0.10200 per $100
VOTER APPROVAL TAX RATE	$0.10580 per $100

The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2026 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for Travis County Emergency Services District No. 10 from the same properties in both the 2025 tax year and the 2026 tax year.

The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that Travis County Emergency Services District No. 10 may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval rate.

The proposed tax rate is not greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means the Travis County Emergency Services District No. 10 is not proposing to increase taxes for the 2026 tax year. A PUBLIC MEETING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON August 20, 2026 at 7:00 PM at 353 South Commons Ford Road, www.tcesd10.org.

The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, Travis County Emergency Services District No. 10 is not required to hold an election to seek voter approval of the rate. However, you may express your support for or opposition to the proposed tax rate by contacting Board of Emergency Services Commissioners of Travis County Emergency Services District No. 10 at their offices or by attending the public meeting mentioned above.
