View original fileNOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON TAX INCREASE
A tax rate of $0.7218 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of City of Burleson.
Proposed Tax Rate $0.7218 per $100
No-New-Revenue Tax Rate $0.6591 per $100
Voter-Approval Tax Rate $0.7218 per $100
The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2025 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for the City of Burleson from the same properties in both the 2024 tax year and the 2025 tax year.
The voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate that City of Burleson 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 City of Burleson is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2025 tax year.
A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON September 2, 2025 at 5:30 p.m. at Burleson City Hall, 141 W. Renfro, Burleson, Texas 76028. The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, City of Burleson 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 members of the City Council of the City of Burleson at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
