Court advances ordinance on 2024 county property tax rate with no change from 2023
Summary
Ordinance 08-13-2024-01 was read in full at the Aug. 13 Caldwell County Fiscal Court meeting and the court approved the ordinance on first reading, recording that the county's property tax rate will remain unchanged from FY2023.
Ordinance 08-13-2024-01, the first reading to establish Caldwell County's 2024 property tax rates, was read in its entirety by Judge-Executive William Dakota Young at the Aug. 13 meeting. The ordinance as presented states there is no change from the FY2023 tax rate; the transcript transcribes the rate language as ".10 cents per 100 dollars." The court approved the first reading by roll-call vote; all five recorded voting members voted Yes.
For clarity, the meeting record's phrasing is normalized here as $0.10 per $100 of assessed value (10 cents per $100), which is the conventional expression of county tax rates. The court recorded the roll-call Yes votes from Magistrates Elbert Bennett, Jeff Boone, Brent Stallins, Jeff Simms and Judge-Executive William Dakota Young. The transcript does not record further debate or the exact ordinance text beyond the reading; the clerk or county attorney would process next steps for second reading or formal adoption per county ordinance procedures.
