Notice About 2023 Tax Rates
Property Tax Rates in City of Baytown
This notice concerns the 2023 property tax rates for City of Baytown. This notice provides information about two tax rates. The no-new-revenue tax rate would impose the same amount of taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. The voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate a taxing unit can adopt without holding an election. In each case, these rates are calculated by dividing the total amount of taxes by the current taxable value with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.
This year's no-new-revenue tax rate: $0.72594/$100
This year's voter-approval tax rate: $0.72585/$100
This year' proposed tax rate: $0.72000/$100
