WINTER AVERAGING NOV 15 - FEB 15 -- Posted by the City of Kirby Texas on Tuesday, October 27 2009
One method to conserve water and see a savings is on your
residential monthly water bill. Residents are able to
actively and conscientiously take part in winter averaging
and reducing the sewer portion of the water bill. Winter
averaging will begin November 15th and continue through
February 15th and take effect on the water bill due April
15th.
How does winter averaging work? Beginning November 15th,
a water usage record will be kept for water accounts that
continues through February 15th. The total usage for the
three cycles will then be divided by three providing the
new average. The water rates, in effect, will be applied
towards the average establishing the sewer average fee for
the following twelve months. In order to receive the
benefit of a winter average, the resident must have an
active account as of November 15th.
Every person is urged to conserve during the winter
averaging period as well as throughout the year. If you
need any additional information, please contact the water
department during business hours and they will be happy to
assist you.

HOW TO USE YOUR RECYCLING CONTAINER -- Posted by the City of Kirby Texas on Monday, July 7 2008
Congratulations!
You are now the proud keeper of a brand new recycling bin. This is your opportunity to reduce the amount of waste going to our landfills, save energy and conserve natural resources- all by recycling. You deserve a hearty “Thank You” for making your recycling program a big success.
Here’s how to make your recycling bin feel at home.
First, put it in a place where you’ll remember to use it.
Second, take every opportunity to fill it with properly prepared recyclable materials.
Third, give it adequate air and sunshine by putting it out on your collection day. Fourth, wash it once in awhile with dishwashing detergent and water.
With proper use and care, your bin will last for years. If you move, please leave it behind, along with this flier. This will make it easy for the new homeowner to participate in this important community project.
Why recycling is important to YOU.
Our community, like thousands of others across America, is running out of sanitary landfill space. On a national and global scale, society as a whole is consuming valuable natural resources, some of which are non-renewable.
Our recycling program gives each of us a way to conserve landfill space by reducing the volume of waste that is buried in the ground. It also helps us ease the burden on our natural resources by recycling old materials, such as paper, into new products. And by recycling, we save energy and extend the life of our oil, coal and natural gas reserves.
Why YOU are important to recycling.
In a typical community, each family generates about 60 pounds of recoverable newspaper, plastic, tin and aluminum every month. Subtract that bulk volume from our local landfill, and it’s easy to see that participation by you and your neighbors in this program can make a real difference.
Every can or bottle that you recycle is part of a long-range step toward easing the waste crisis we hear about in the news. Your participation in this recycling effort is the cornerstone of a movement that starts here, at home, but that will have a positive, worldwide impact as more and more people make the decision to recycle.
On your recycling day, just place your filled bin on the curb no later than 7:00 A.M. Rain or shine, Allied Waste will pick up your recyclable materials. It’s that easy!
Here are the materials to recycle and how to prepare them for pickup:
NEWSPAPER PLASTICS CANS

2007 Notice of Tax Rates -- Posted by the City of Kirby Texas on Tuesday, August 21 2007
City of Kirby
Notice of calculation of tax rates
This notice concerns 2007 property tax rates for CITY OF KIRBY. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year’s tax rate is the actual rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This year’s effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year’s rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers can start tax rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.
Last year’s tax rate:
Last year’s operating taxes $ 1,135,508
Last year’s debt taxes $ 111,972
Last year’s total taxes $ 1,247,480
Last year’s tax base $ 193,566,506
Last year’s total tax rate 0.644471/$100
This year’s effective tax rate:
Last year’s adjusted taxes $ 1,244,657
(after subtracting taxes on lost property)
/ This year’s adjusted tax base $ 211,527,122
(after subtracting value of new property)
= This year’s effective tax rate 0.588414/$100
(Maximum rate unless unit publishes notices and holds
hearings.)
This year’s rollback tax rate:
Last year’s adjusted operating taxes $ 1,132,923
(after subtracting taxes on
lost property and adjusting
for any transferred function,
tax increment financing, and/or
enhanced indigent health care
expenditures)
/ This year’s adjusted tax base $ 211,527,122
= This year’s effective operating rate 0.535592/$100
* 1.08=this year’s maximum operating rate 0.578439/$100
+ This year’s debt rate 0.051047/$100
= This year’s total rollback rate 0.629486/$100
Statement of Increase/Decrease
If the CITY OF KIRBY adopts a 2007 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of $0.588414 per $100 of value, taxes would increase compared to 2006 taxes by $4,939.
