PROPOSED TAX RATE $0.025589 per $100 NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE $0.028039 per $100 VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE $0.025589 per $100
The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2023 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for BROWNSVILLE NAVIGATION DISTRICT from the same properties in both the 2022 tax year and the 2023 tax year.
