Statements required in notice if the proposed tax rate exceeds the no-new-revenue tax rate but does not exceed the voter-approval tax rate, as prescribed by Tax Code §26.06(b-2).

Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase

A tax rate of $0.2498 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of TEMPLE COLLEGE.

The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2026 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for TEMPLE COLLEGE from the same properties in both the 2025 tax year and the 2026 tax year.

The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that TEMPLE COLLEGE 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 TEMPLE COLLEGE is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2026 tax year.

A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON August 24, 2026 at 6:00 PM at Temple College Board Room, 2600 South First Street, Temple, Texas.

The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, TEMPLE COLLEGE 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 Trustees of TEMPLE COLLEGE at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.

YOUR TAXES OWED UNDER ANY OF THE TAX RATES MENTIONED ABOVE CAN BE CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS:

Property tax amount = ( tax rate ) x ( taxable value of your property ) / 100

(List names of all members of the governing body below, showing how each voted on the proposal to consider the tax increase or, if one or more were absent, indicating absences.)

FOR the proposal: Larry J. Wilkerson, Alejandro C. Arroliga, Andrejs Avots-Avotins, Jack Myers, Mark H. Durham, J. Harry Adams, Hope Koch, and John Bailey
