PUBLIC HEARING

 
SUBJECT:

Public Hearing on City of El Campo 2026 Tax Rate

 
BACKGROUND:

Chapter 26 of the Property Tax Code requires that taxing units comply with Truth-in-Taxation laws during rate adoption process. These laws were designed to make taxpayers aware of tax rate proposals and to provide an avenue for comment. On August 10, 2026, City Council took a record tax vote for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027.

 

The attached Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase states that a tax rate of $0.49144 per $100 valuation has been proposed for adoption. This required notice was published in the El Campo Leader Journal newspaper on Saturday, September 5, 2026, to give the public the proper notification.

 

The vote to adopt the tax rate will be on a subsequent agenda item.
