The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2024 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for Travis County ESD No. 2 from the same properties in both the 2023 tax year and the 2024 tax year.
The voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate that Travis County ESD No. 2 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 Travis County ESD No. 2 is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2024 tax year.

As a result, Travis County ESD No. 2 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 Board of Commissioners of Travis County ESD No. 2 at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
