The approval of the tax roll is an annual process required by the Texas Property Tax Code. The tax roll is calculated by taking the 2017 certified appraisal rolls (excluding property under protest) and applying the fiscal year (FY) 2017-2018 adopted tax rate.
Financial Consideration
The approval of the tax rolls will enable the City to begin the annual tax collection process performed by the Dallas County Tax Assessor/Collector. The tax roll is also a funding basis included in the Proposed FY 2017-2018 Operating Budget.
