 The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that CITY OF DEER PARK may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate.
 
 The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that CITY OF DEER PARK is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2023 tax year.
 
 A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON September 19, 2023 AT 7:30 PM AT City of Deer Park Council Chambers; 710 E. San Augustine St, Deer Park, TX 77536.
 
 The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, CITY OF DEER PARK is not required to hold an election at which voters may accept or reject the proposed tax rate. However, you may express your support for or opposition to the proposed tax rate by contacting the members of the City of Deer Park City Council of CITY OF DEER PARK at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.

YOUR TAXES OWED UNDER ANY OF THE RATES MENTIONED ABOVE CAN BE CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS:
 
 Property tax amount= (tax rate) x (taxable value of your property)/100
