ADOPTED PROPERTY TAX RATEADOPTED PROPERTY TAX RATE
The adopted property tax rate for FY 2021 is $0.439000 per $100 of valuation, same as the
FY 2020 nominal rate of $0.439000.
The adopted rate of $0.439000 is an increase of 1.3 cents or 3.2% above the no new revenue
tax rate of $0.425550, which takes into account the 2.8% growth in existing property values from
last year.
New property valued at $294 million was added to the property tax roll since last year. This
amount of new property will generate $1.3 million in additional property tax revenues for FY 2021.
The median home value in Round Rock for FY 2021 is $256,347. An owner of a median valued
home will pay $94 per month in City property taxes for next year.
Sales tax continues to be an important revenue thanks to the strong local economy. These sales
tax revenues help the property tax rate as well.

The City’s General Fund Revenues come from a wide variety of revenue sources. A more detailed

to property tax revenues.
Sales Tax $48.3M
For every $100 in purchases by
visitors, residents, and businesses,
the City collects $2 in sales
tax revenues. The General
Fund gets $1.50 and the
remaining 50 cents
goes to the Type
B Fund to pay for
roads and economic
development. Round
Rock’s unique mix of
destination shopping
and corporate
headquarters
generates sales tax
revenues that help
reduce the property tax
burden.

GENERAL FUND REVENUE SUMMARYGENERAL FUND REVENUE SUMMARY 53
GENERAL FUND REVENUE SUMMARYGENERAL FUND REVENUE SUMMARY
PROPERTY TAX revenues are higher in FY 2021 primarily due to the recommended rate. The adopted property tax
rate for FY 2021 is $0.439000 per $100 of valuation, same as the FY 2020 nominal rate of $0.439000. The adopted
rate of $0.439000 is an increase of 1.3 cents or 3.2% above the no new revenue tax rate of $0.425550 which takes into
account the 2.8% growth in existing property values from last year.

policy to no more than 20% of net General Fund sales tax revenues, and also for some instability among top sales tax
payers. Sales tax revenues help the property tax rate as well. A half cent for property tax reduction saves 14.4 cents on
the property tax bill for FY 2021.
OTHER TAXES & FRANCHISE FEES include mixed drink tax, bingo tax, and penalty & interest fees from current and
delinquent property tax. Franchise fees collected from electricity, gas, and telecommunications grow modestly with the
general population growth. These fees are based on growth revenues; therefore, mild weather can reduce fees received
from electric and gas providers. For FY 2020 and beyond there will be a decrease in Franchise Fees due to the impacts
of SB 1152, meaning companies pay for the higher fee between communications and cablevision instead of both as it
was in the past.
LICENSES, PERMITS, & FEES include planning and development related revenues, beer and liquor licenses, and

Average residential customers pay $19.37 per month for garbage with the City retaining 15.5% or $3.00. Lot clearing
service charges are collected when City employees remove a nuisance and charge the owner for the service.
PROGRAM REVENUES are mostly recreation fees and charges for all Parks and Recreation programs, rentals,
leagues, and the Clay Madsen Recreation Center.

LIBRARYLIBRARY
In November 2013, Round Rock voters approved the use of $23.2 million in bond proceeds to build a new
main library. Having additional space will allow the library to expand its core services to children, teens,
and adults; roll out more technology programs; and provide a wider variety of meeting spaces and program
rooms. The new library will be located one block north of the old library.

General Fund
The General Fund is the Primary fund for core government services and is used to
account for all resources not required to be accounted for in another fund and not
otherwise devoted to specific activities. Most of the financial transactions for the City are
reported in this fund. The services provided by the City are classified according to activity
and presented as operating departments in the budget.
Debt Service Funds
This fund type is used to account for resources used to service the principal and interest
on longterm debt such as general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, certificates of
obligation and taxexempt leases classified as debt.

ANNUAL BUDGET
Preparation
The Charter (Section 8.03) requires that “the budget will provide a complete financial plan for all
City funds and activities and, except as required by law or this Charter, shall be in such a form
as the City Manager deems desirable or the City Council may require.” The budget shall be

Guiding Principles:
The annual budget will be prepared to address Council Strategic Goals and direction.
Longterm financial needs identified in the fiveyear plans will be considered and
addressed when appropriate.

A proposed budget shall be prepared by the City Manager with participation from all of the City’s

Balanced Budget
The goal of the City is to adopt and maintain a balanced operating budget using
sustainable funding sources that are expected to continue to be available in subsequent
fiscal years.
Revenues and Expenditures
The annual budget is staff and Council’s best estimate of the revenues, expenditures,
and available fund balances at the time of preparation. Therefore, transfers and
amendments may be needed from time to time due to changing conditions.

The annual Budget will also include the approve

transfer and/or repurpose FTEs among departments and funds as needed to meet the
needs of the community. If the transfer changes the total appropriations for any particular
fund, then City Council approval is necessary.
In order to maintain effective staffing levels, the Police department may exceed total
budgeted FTEs by 4.0 FTEs to accommodate planned departures and retirements in
light of the long recruitment and training times required. The department must stay
within appropriated budget for that fiscal year and receive advanced approval from the
City Manager.

FUNDS, RESERVES AND DESIGNATIONS
The City of Round Rock will maintain budgeted minimum reserves in the ending working
capital/fund balances of its operating and debt funds to provide a secure, healthy financial base
for the City in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency and to maintain or enhance its
credit worthiness. Funds will be used for purposes as designated by state law, charter and this
policy.

achieved, therefore the transition wording is no long necessary} Staff will evaluate the
financial stability of the General Fund revenues annually to ensure the reserve
requirement remains adequate.
Designation
Concentration Risk account: For any single sales tax payer that represents more
than 5% of the City’s net General Fund revenues, the city will designate a
concentration risk fund at or above the City’s annual net exposure to that revenue
source. If at any time a single tax payer drops below that threshold or no tax payer
meets this threshold, this account may be gradually reduced and used for onetime
expenditures.
Self Finance Construction Funds

REVENUES
The City will maintain a diverse and stable revenue system. In order to protect the City from
revenue shortfalls and to maintain a stable level of service, revenues will be estimated
realistically and conservatively taking into account the volatile nature of various revenue
streams. The analysis will include probable economic changes and their impacts on revenues,
historical collection rates, and trends. The benefits of a revenue source should exceed the cost
of administration and collection of that revenue.
Property Tax
All real and business personal property located within the City will be valued at 100% of the
fair market value for any given year based on the current appraisal supplied by Williamson
and Travis Central Appraisal Districts.
Sales Tax
Sales tax revenue will be used to fund the recurring operations of the General Fund, the

closely monitored to ensure the needs of the City are met.

operations without overreliance on any single sales tax provider. Therefore, Dell sales
tax receipts, net of rebate, are not to exceed 20% of budgeted sales tax revenues in the

User Fees and Charges
For services associated with a user fee or charge, the direct and/or indirect costs of that
service will be offset by a fee where possible. The City will review fees and charges no
less than once every two years to ensure that fees provide adequate coverage for the
cost of services. The City Council will determine how much of the cost of a service should
be recovered by fees and charges.

Longterm debt is only issued to finance the acquisition and/or construction of capital
improvements. Additionally, only capital needs identified in the community investment program will
be considered. Refunding bonds will only be issued if the present value of debt service savings
exceeds three percent of the par value of the refunded bonds.
TYPES OF DEBT
General Obligation Bonds

The use of the proceeds from GO Bonds is limited to the acquisition or improvement of
real property and other uses allowed by law and applicable bond ordinances. Libraries,
parks and public safety facilities are all types of facilities that could be financed with GO
Bonds. To the extent that property tax revenues are used to fund debt service, an increase
to the property tax will be proposed.
Certificate of Obligations
Certificate of Obligations may be used to fund capital improvements or equipment that
are not otherwise funded by general obligation or revenue bonds. With CO bonds, the
voters have an option to petition for an election on whether the certificates should be
issued. There is a forty

In a negotiated sale, the City chooses the initial buyer of the bonds in advance of the

investment banking firms interested in reoffering the bonds to investors through an
underwriting process. This type of sale allows the City to discuss different financing
techniques with the underwriter in advance of the sale date. This method is most
advantageous when the debt issue is complex, debt structuring flexibility is required

coverage for all City employees. In addition to the basic coverage provided to each employee, the
employee may purchase dependent coverage through payroll deductions. Coverage will be
financed by contributions from the City and employee payroll deductions.
The City will make a diligent effort to avoid or prevent loss of City assets and to reduce the City’s
exposure to liability. All reasonable options will be investigated to finance risk exposure. If risk
is retained, reserves will be established based on actuarial determinations.
FEDERAL AND STATE GRANTS
The City will seek State and Federal grants where applicable and practical. The benefits of the
grant should exceed the cost of administration of the grant when possible. Council should
approve the application of all grants that will have future funding requirements.
