Since implementing a property tax in 2015, Talty's rate has remained at $0.25 per $100 of taxable valuation. Due to changes in legislation and varying taxable values, the City will begin experiencing the rate fluctuations typical with most taxing entities. This year's rate will be a slightly lower rate of $0.246654, or 24.6654 cents, per $100 of taxable valuation. Of this, $0.110208 is for maintenance and operations. The balance, $0.136446, will be for the debt service on the 2016, 2017 and 2018 tax notes issued for road maintenance and capital improvements. The levy of $0.246654 would result in a $617 levy on a property valued at $250,000. A levy on a 300,000 property would be $740.
The City has again budgeted to provide mosquito spraying from late April through September. The portion of the City northeast of FM 1641 will be done on the scheduled Monday nights. The portions southwest will be done on the scheduled Tuesday nights. The schedule is always tentative since weather. atmospheric or wind conditions cause delays. Any cancelled spraying will take place on the next available, suitable evening. Sprayings will not begin until well after dusk.
