WHEREAS, the proposed millage rate submitted to the Property Appraiser and the Tax
Collector is not binding but is necessary for preparation of tax notices; and
WHEREAS, the Statute defines the "rolled back millage rate" as a millage rate which,
with certain specified exclusions, will provide the same ad valorem tax revenue for each taxing
authority as was levied during the prior year less the amount, if any, paid or applied as a
consequence of an obligation measured by the dedicated increment value; those exclusions are
"new construction, additions to structures, deletions, increases in the value of improvements
that have undergone a substantial rehabilitation which increased the assessed value of such
improvements by at least 100 percent, property added due to geographic boundary changes,
total taxable value of tangible personal property within the jurisdiction in excess of 115 percent
of the previous year's total taxable value, and any dedicated increment value"; and
