What is a "No New Revenue Rate'? Why do we not know about this tool created for transparency?

This is a new tool that is under utilized in local government, even though it was created for local government to be transparent in terms of taxation. Here is where you can have the most impact on what you pay. Remember in Abilene our tax rate does not include the "Street Maintenance" Fee that we pay on top of the property tax. Are you ready for a tax break? Let council know what you want before they approve increasing the amount you pay for the upcoming year. Your voice does make a difference! #justanaveragecitizen #cityofabilene #abilenetx #nonewrevenuerate
