of Development Services Ramie Hammonds was recognized and provided a summary. This is a
request for two lots to be platted into one lot for residential use in the Indian Springs Subdivision.
The property was originally platted as two residential lots. The applicant is requesting to combine
the lots to be able to build an accessory accessory building. They have corrected the plat and
included drainage easements on the plat. Staff sent out fifteen (15) public hearing notices to the
owners of properties within 200 feet of the subject. property. One (1) response was received back
in favor of the application. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved this replat (50) with the
condition that all staff comments were satisfied. The applicant has met all staff items and staff
recommends approval.
Mayor Muir noted that this is a public hearing and solicited citizens who wished to speak on the
public hearing item. There were no citizens who came forward wishing to speak. There being no
public input, the public hearing was closed at 7:04 p.m.
Councilmember Clark asked why they were replatting. Ms. Hammonds noted that they desired to
construct an accessory building and could not build an accessory structure on a lot without a main
structure. She noted that in order to have an accessory bu8ilding you have to have a main structure
on the lot and that this prevents the City from having lots with just accessory buildings on them.
There was additional discussion regarding the orientation of the accessory building on the lot,and if it
would have a driveway. Also discussed was the type of material the building would be constructed
with. Ms. Hammonds noted that according to the new state law we can not mandate any type of

MEMORANDUM
To: Alina Ciocan, City Manager
From: Clayton Gray, Finance Director
Date: August 13, 2020
Re: 2020-21 Property Tax Rate
On Friday, July 24th, we received the Certified Totals from the Denton Central Appraisal District. On
Saturday, August 1st, we received the 2020 Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet from Denton County. This
worksheet, which includes the City’s No-New-Revenue Rate, Voter-Approval Rate, and Di Minimis
Rate, is attached to this memo.
The No-New-Revenue Rate is the tax rate that generates the same revenues as last year’s
revenue for properties taxed in both years. Sanger’s No-New-Revenue Rate is $0.662164/$100
(line 26).
The Voter-Approval Rate is the highest tax rate that most entities may adopt before triggering
an automatic election in November. Sanger’s Voter-Approval Rate is $0.673039/$100 (line
47).
The Di Minimis Rate is the No New Revenue Rate plus a rate that would equal $500,000
additional taxes for entities under 30,000 population. As we have discussed earlier, the Di
Minimis Rate is meant to add flexibility to tax revenues for growing cities like Sanger.
Sanger’s Di Minimis Rate is $0.718122/$100 (line 70).
The City’s tax rate for 2019 was $0.679100/$100, which is below the Di Minimis Rate. Keeping the
tax rate flat for 2020 would provide $342,631 (7.4%) more property tax revenues than last year’s budget.
Of that amount, $248,504 is tax revenue from new property added to the tax roll this year.

2020 Tax Rate Calculation Worksheet
CITY OF SANGER
No-New-Revenue Tax Rate
The NNR tax rate enables the public to evaluate the relationship between taxes for the prior year and for the
current year based on a tax rate that would produce the same amount of taxes (no new taxes) if applied to the
same properties that are taxed in both years. When appraisal values increase, the NNR tax rate should decrease.
The NNR tax rate for a county is the sum of the NNR tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies.
While uncommon, it is possible for a taxing unit to provide an exemption for only maintenance and operations
taxes. In this case, the taxing unit will need to calculate the NNR tax rate separately for the maintenance and
operations tax and the debt tax, then add the two components together.
1.2019 total taxable value. Enter the amount of 2019 taxable value on the 2019
tax roll today. Include any adjustments since last year's certification; exclude Tax
Code Section 25.25(d) one-fourth and one-third over-appraisal corrections from
these adjustments. Exclude any property value subject to an appeal under
Chapter 42 as of July 25 (will add undisputed value in Line 6). This total includes
the taxable value of homesteads with tax ceilings (will deduct in Line 2) and the
captured value for tax increment financing (will deduct taxes in Line 17).1 $699,251,976

older or disabled, use this step.2 $0

Voter-Approval Tax Rate
The voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate that a taxing unit may adopt without holding an
election to seek voter approval of the rate. The voter-approval tax rate is split into two separate rates:
1. Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Tax Rate: The M&O portion is the tax rate that is
needed to raise the same amount of taxes that the taxing unit levied in the prior year plus the
applicable percentage allowed by law. This rate accounts for such things as salaries, utilities and
day-to-day operations.
2. Debt Rate: The debt rate includes the debt service necessary to pay the taxing unit's debt
payments in the coming year. This rate accounts for principal and interest on bonds and other
debt secured by property tax revenue.
The voter-approval tax rate for a county is the sum of the voter-approval tax rates calculated for each
type of tax the county levies. In most cases the voter-approval tax rate exceeds the no-new-revenue tax
rate, but occasionally decreases in a taxing unit's debt service will cause the NNR tax rate to be higher
than the voter-approval tax rate.

Voter-Approval Tax Rate Adjustment for Unused Increment Rate
The unused increment rate is the rate equal to the difference between the adopted tax rate and voter-
approval tax rate before the unused increment rate for the prior three years. 39 In a year where a taxing
unit adopts a rate by applying any portion of the unused increment rate, the unused increment rate for
that year would be zero.
For each tax year before 2020, the difference between the adopted tax rate and voter-approval rate is
considered zero, therefore the unused increment rate for 2020 is zero. 40
