NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
ON TAX INCREASE
A tax rate of $0.301097 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of BEXAR COUNTY.
PROPOSED TAX RATE $0.301097 per $100
NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE $0.298513 per $100
VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE $0.343885 per $100
The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2021 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for BEXAR COUNTY from the same properties in both the 2020 tax year
and the 2021 tax year.
The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that BEXAR COUNTY may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate.
The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that BEXAR COUNTY is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2021 tax year.
A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON September 14, 2021 AT 10:00AM AT the Double-Height Courtroom on the second floor of the Bexar County
Courthouse, 100 Dolorosa Street, Suite 2.01, San Antonio, TX 78205.
The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, BEXAR COUNTY is not required to hold an election at which voters may accept or reject the proposed tax rate.
However, you may express your support for or opposition to the proposed tax rate by contacting the members of the COMMISSIONERS COURT of BEXAR COUNTY at their offices or by
attending the public hearing mentioned above.
YOUR TAXES OWED UNDER ANY OF THE RATES MENTIONED ABOVE CAN BE CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS:
Property tax amount= (tax rate) x (taxable value of your property)/100
FOR the proposal: County Judge N. Wolff, Commissioner R. Clay-Flores, Commissioner T. DeBerry, Commissioner T. Calvert,
Commissioner J. Rodriguez
AGAINST the proposal: N/A
PRESENT and not voting: N/A
ABSENT: N/A
The 86th Texas Legislature modified the manner in which the voter-approval tax rate is calculated to limit the rate of growth of property taxes in the state.
The following table compares the taxes imposed on the average residence homestead by BEXAR COUNTY last year to the taxes proposed to be imposed on the average
residence homestead by BEXAR COUNTY this year.
2020 2021 Change
Total tax rate (per $0.301097 $0.301097 increase of 0.000000, or
$100 of value) 0.00%
Average homestead $229,039 $243,824 increase of $14,785, or
taxable value 6.46%
Tax on average $689.63 $734.15 increase of $44.52, or
homestead 6.46%
Total tax levy on all $480,766,042 $496,326,551 increase of $15,560,509,
properties or 3.24%
State Criminal Justice Mandate
The BEXAR COUNTY Auditor certifies that BEXAR COUNTY has spent $5,665,201 in the previous 12 months for the maintenance and operations cost of keeping inmates sentenced to the
Texas Department of Criminal Justice. BEXAR COUNTY Sheriff has provided BEXAR COUNTY information on these costs, minus the state revenues received for reimbursement of such costs.
This increased the no-new-revenue tax rate by $0.001316/$100.

Award-Winning Actress Shines A Spotlight
On Opportunities For Aspiring Filmmakers
By Jackie Velez
Award-winning filmmaker, actress, screenwriter, pro-
ducer, and creator, Felise Garcia, is creating opportunities
for women in the film and television industry.
Garcia has penned many stories since the age of seven.
She earned an associate’s degree in English from San An-
tonio College and a bachelor’s degree in English from the
University of Texas at San Antonio. She pursued acting
ten years ago, which led her to an interest in screenwriting.
“When I started acting and got curious about the scripts
and the different things that were involved in bringing the
characters to life, I decided to start learning how to screen-
write,” said Garcia.
Garcia quickly learned how competitive the acting
industry was and how limited the roles for television and
film were in Texas. Garcia was tired of waiting around for
an opportunity to come to her, so she utilized her writing,
acting, and management skills to create her web series, “The
Honey Trapper.” The show dives into deceit and dares to ask
the question: If your significant other were presented with
the temptation to cheat, would they choose to stray or stay?
The show is about a woman who decides to start a profes-
sional honey trapping business and soon realizes that noth-
ing is as black and white as it seems. It leaves the audience
with the question: It begs the question, people can research
cars, schools, and houses, so why not research the person
you plan to spend the rest of your life with? This addictive
show proved to be the best idea for Garcia as it has won coach, Coach Dock. Garcia is assisting Dock in building
