Notice About 2024 Tax Rates
This notice concerns the 2024 property tax rates for City of Coleman. This notice provides information about two tax rates used in adopting the current tax year's tax rate. The no-new-revenue tax rate would Impose the same amount of taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. In most cases, the voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate a taxing unit can adopt without holding an election. In each case, these rates are calculated by dividing the total amount of taxes by the current taxable value with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.
The following estimated balances will be left in the taxing unit's accounts at the end of the fiscal year. These balances are not encumbered by corresponding debt obligation.
Please complete by August 9th!

Public Notice for a Proposed Activity in the 100-Year Floodplain and Wetlands
To: All interested Agencies, US Fish and Wildlife, US Army Corps of Engineers, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Groups, and Individuals
This is to give notice that the City of Coleman plans to use their ARP Allocation for the Brazos St. Sewer Line Replacement. Pursuant to Executive Order 11988 and Executive Order 11990, to determine the potential effect that its activity in the floodplain and wetlands will have on the human environment. According to the Fish & Wildlife Services, National Wetlands Inventory, landscaping may occur within an approximate 0.05-acre section of wetlands (riverine). The proposed project is located on property owned by the City of Coleman, Coleman County, Texas along Brazos Street and East Mesquite Street.
There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and wetlands and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about floodplains and wetlands can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains and wetlands, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.
Commenters are encouraged to send any questions or concerns to the City Secretary, city.secretary@cityofcolemantx.us by August 4, 2023 at 2:00 P.M.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON TAX INCREASE

| PROPOSED TAX RATE | $0.441866 per $100 |
| NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE | $0.433564 per $100 |
| VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE | $0.441867 per $100 |
The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2021 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for the City of Coleman from the same properties in both the 2020 tax year and the 2021 tax year.
The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that the City of Coleman 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 the City of Coleman is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2021 tax year.
A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2021, AT 5:15 P.M., AT THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS LOCATED AT 200 W. LIVEOAK, COLEMAN, TEXAS.
The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, City of Coleman 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 City Council of the City of Coleman at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
YOUR TAXES OWED UNDER ANY OF THE RATES MENTIONED ABOVE CAN BE CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS:
Property tax amount= (tax rate) x (taxable value of your property)/100

| Councilmember Tracy Rankin | |
| Councilmember Monte Sides | |
| Councilmember Bobby McGee | |

| PRESENT and not voting: | None |
| ABSENT: | None |
The 86th Texas Legislature modified the manner in which the voter-approval tax rate is calculated to limit the rate of growth of property taxes in the state.
The following table compares the taxes imposed on the average residence homestead by the City of Coleman last year to the taxes proposed to be imposed on the average residence homestead by City of Coleman this year.
| 2020 | 2021 | Change | |
| Total tax rate (per $100 of value) | $0.438623 | $0.441866 | increase of $0.003243, or 0.74% |
| Average homestead taxable value | $52,067 | $54,311 | increase of $2,244, or 4.31% |
| Tax on average homestead | $228.38 | $239.98 | increase of $11.60, or 5.08% |

Cyber Holiday Tips PSA from the Coleman Police Department
Click here for a printable version- Holiday shopping is already in full swing. Unfortunately, this also means there will be more cybercrimes and card-not-present fraud. Don’t let a cyber Grinch ruin your holidays. Use these Pre-Santa Arrival (PSA) cyber security tips to protect yourself online during this holiday season.
- Use common sense when shopping online. If a deal seems too good to be true, assume it is a scam. If you think an email is fake, it probably is. Be skeptical rather than trusting.
- Watch out for Seasonal Scams. Cyber criminals send fake holiday e-cards with malicious links and steal personal information. Beware of shipping notification scams, as packages may arrive later than usual this season. Charity donation scams are also an issue during the holiday season.
- Shop only at sites you know and use a credit card instead of a debit card. Secure websites should use https. The “s” means secure.
- Look for the padlock icon in the URL. Credit cards offer fraud protection.
- Keep Software updated and use current anti-virus protection software.
- Don’t Auto Save. Don’t store your credit card information via auto save, hackers can potentially access information. The little bit of extra time it takes to re-enter your credit card information each time you want to make a purchase, will ease your mind and possibly curb the impulse buying.
- Avoid public Wi-Fi. Public Wi-Fi sounds like a good idea, but cyber criminals take advantage of it. Use a VPN if absolutely needed.
- Use Strong Passwords/Passphrases and Multi-Factor Authentication. Change those passwords often.
- Go Directly to the Source. Go directly to the merchant’s website or call customer service to verify rather than clicking any links inside an email. Hover over the link to see the URL where you would be taken if you clicked it. If unsure, copy and paste links into a different browser window for review.
- Check Your Statements. Look over credit card and bank statements for fraudulent charges.
- Never (ever ever) give out your personal information online. An email or text message requesting personal information, such as your credit card number, is likely a scam.
