NACOGDOCHES, Texas (KTRE) - The proposed rate raises taxes .43 per $100,000 in property, and will fund the budget for next year. This is below the tax rate from last year, but Judge Greg Sowell says that it’s still slightly over the no new revenue rate.

It will be decided on in a future meeting to fund the budget for next year. There were several things we had to absorb in this year’s budget, and it’s about 1.3 cents above the no new revenue rate," Judge Sowell said.

There will be a public hearing in September to vote on the proposed rate.
