Council adopts Fiscal Year 2017 budget, tax rate
City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2017 tax rate and
budget during the September 20, 2016 council meeting.
The Council Adopted a tax rate of $0.339130 per $100
valuation. The rate is lower than the previous rate of
$0.3559 per $100 valuation, which the city has had in
place since 2008. One of City Council's top priorities is to
provide property tax relief for residents. This rate reduction
serves to provide relief to property owners receiving higher
appraisal values, while also providing the revenue
necessary to continue funding programs and services at a
sustainable level. Despite lowering the rate, residents may
see an increase in their bill due to higher appraisal values
and/or if other taxing entities adopt rate increases.
The City Council also approved the Fiscal Year 2017 city
budget. The $41.4 million budget takes effect with the new
fiscal year on Oct. 1. City staff is finalizing the Fiscal Year
