(c) The proposal may provide for the ratio to increase from fiscal year to fiscal year according to a schedule of increase specified in the proposal, but in no case may the proposal provide for a rate of taxation for city purposes in the annexed territory that exceeds the highest rate of taxation for city purposes applicable to other property in the city for the current year.
(d) If the annexation takes place pursuant to a proposal providing for taxation at a ratio, the city may not tax property in the annexed territory at a rate other than the ratio that the proposal authorizes for that fiscal year.
(e) Notwithstanding paragraph (d) of this subsection, during the term of fiscal years provided for pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection, the ratio shall be 100 percent for property that is sold or transferred to new ownership, beginning with the first property tax year that begins after the sale or transfer.
