What’s in it

Under current law, each school district, county, and city (political subdivision) of the state must set a time and place for a public hearing on the political subdivision’s proposed property tax amount for a budget year. This public hearing must be separate from any other meeting of the governing body of the political subdivision, including any other meeting or public hearing relating to the political subdivision’s budget, and other business of the political subdivision that is not related to the proposed property tax shall not be conducted at the public hearing.
