A tax rate of $0.555000 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of City of Benbrook.
PROPOSED TAX RATE $0.555000 per $100 NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE $0.550695 per $100 VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE $0.609754 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 City of Benbrook from the same properties in both the 2024 tax year and the 2025 tax year.
The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that City of Benbrook 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 Ben- brook is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2025 tax year. A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON September 4, 2025, 7:00pm at Benbrook City Hall, 911 Winscott Road, Benbrook, Texas 76126.
The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, City of Benbrook is not required to hold an election at which voters may accept or reject the proposed tax rate. How- ever, you may express your support for or opposition to the proposed tax rate by contacting the members of the City Council of City of Benbrook at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
