Nocona City Council to consider tax rate in public hearing
The Nocona City Council will conduct its first tax rate hearing at 8 a.m. on Aug. 25.
The proposed budget for 2016-2017 uses the same 2015 tax rate of $0.55 per $100 in property value.
The proposed rate includes 0.4914 cents for maintenance and operation and 0.0586 for debt. The city’s debt obligations includes $65,405.82 for a fire command vehicles and self-contained breathing equipment.
The effective tax rate is .5302 cents per $100 in property value, up from .5129 for the 2015-2016 fiscal year. This rate would generate the same tax revenue as last year.
The second hearing will be conducted at 8 a.m. on Sept. 8 with adoption at 8 a.m. on Sept. 14.

Judges have been named for the two cases involving 97th District Attorney Casey Hall, including the indictment for theft and a petition for removal as DA.
On July 11, Judge David L. Evans, presiding judge for the Eighth Administration Region of Texas, assigned E. Lee Gabriel to handle the indictment case against Hall. The judge then named Bruce McFarling for the removal petition case.
The two-term DA Hall was indicted by the Montague County Grand Jury July 15 on a charge of theft of property $2,500 to $30,000, a state jail felony. The allegations stem from reported misappropriation of state grant funds.
