| SUBJECT: | APPROVE THE PROPERTY TAX LEVY FOR COTTONFLOWER COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT (CTTNFLWRCFD) FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027 |
| STAFF PRESENTER(S): | Ryan Bittle, District Finance Manager |
SUMMARY
Resolution CTTNFLWRCFD RES 2026-088 sets the FY2027 property tax levy for the district.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution CTTNFLWRCFD RES 2026-088 levying upon the assessed valuation of the property within the District subject to Ad Valorem Taxation a certain sum upon each $100.00 of assessed valuation sufficient to raise the amounts estimated to be required in the Annual Budget; all for the fiscal year ending the 30th day of June, 2027. (Ryan Bittle, District Finance Manager)
FISCAL IMPACT
The combined property tax is collected and used for operations and maintenance in Fiscal Year 2027 and general obligation bond debt service payments in Calendar Year 2027. For Fiscal Year 2027, the combined property tax levy will be $271,600. The approximate combined property tax rate projected using the preliminary net limited assessed valuation information from February 2026 is $1.92 per $100 of net limited assessed valuation, which is below the target rate of $3.00 per $100 of net limited assessed valuation. However, the actual rate may vary from this estimate based upon the final net limited assessed valuation of the District, which will be certified in August 2026.
Of the combined property tax rate, (i) $1.62 per $100 of net limited assessed valuation is used to pay the general obligation bond debt service payments and (ii) $0.30 per $100 of net limited assessed valuation is used for operations and maintenance for the District.
