The debt service portion is dedicated to paying off bonds or other long-term debt. The operations portion of the property tax rate is flexible and can be used as needed.
A rising debt service rate means more money has been borrowed, resulting in less flexibility on the tax rate. If the cost of providing services rises faster than property values, then an increased tax rate could be necessary to provide the same level of service. Similarly, property values rising faster than the cost of services can allow for a rate reduction.
