e NNR tax rate enables the public to evaluate the relationship between taxes for the prior year and for the current year based on a tax rate that would produce the same amount of taxes
no new taxes) if applied to the same properties that are taxed in both years. When appraisal values increase, the NNR tax rate should decrease.
e NNR tax rate for a county is the sum of the NNR tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies.
While uncommon, it is possible for a taxing unit to provide an exempfron for only maintenance and operations taxes. In this case, the taxing unit will need to calculate the NNR tax rate
separatcIv for the maintenance and operations tax and the debt tax then add the two components together.

• a tax year before 2020; and40
• a tax year in which the municipality is a defending municipality, as defined by Tax Code Section 26.0501(a);41 or

SECTION 7: Voter -Approval Tax Rate Adjustment for Emergency Revenue Rate
In the tax year after the and of the disaster calculation time period detailed in Tax Code Section 26.042(a), a taxing unit that calculated its voter -approval tax rate in the manner provided
for a special taxing unit due to a disaster must calculate its emergency revenue rate and reduce its voter -approval tax rate for that year.46
Similarly, if a taking unit adopted a tax rate that exceeded its voter -approval tax rate, calculated normally, without holding an election to respond to a disaster, as allowed by Tax Code
Section 26.042(d), in the prior year, it must also reduce its voter -approval tax rate for the current tax year47.
NOTE: This section will not apply to any taxing units in 2021. It is added to implement Senate Bill 1438 (87th Regular Session) and does not apply to a taxing unit that calculated its
voter -approval tax rate in the manner provided for a special taxing unit due to a declared disaster in 2020, as provided for in the recently repealed Tax Code Sections 26.04(c-1) and
26.041(c-I).
In future tax years, this section will apply to a taxing unit other than a special taxing unit that:
• directed the designated officer or employee to calculate the voter -approval tax rate of the taxing unit in the manner provided for a special taxing unit in the prior year; and
• the current year is the first tax year in which the total taxable value of property taxable by the taxing unit as shown on the appraisal roll for the taxing unit submitted by the
assessor for the taxing unit to the governing body exceeds the total taxable value of property taxable by the taxing unit on January I of the tax year in which the disaster
occurred or the disaster occurred four years ago.
In future tax years, this section will also apply to a taxing unit in a disaster area that adopted a tax rate greater than its voter -approval tax rate without bolding an election in the prior year.
Note: This section does not apply if a taxing unit is continuing to calculate its voter -approval tax rate in the manner provided for a special taxing unit because it is still within the disaster
calculation time i2criod detailed in Tax Code Section 26.042(a) because it has not met the conditions in Tax Code Section 26.042 a 1 or (2).
