Benbrook Tax Rate Proposal: What It Means for Your Wallet.

Benbrook residents now have a clearer picture of how the city’s proposed property tax rate for fiscal year 2025–26 could affect their bills.

A new taxpayer impact statement lays out the numbers in plain view, comparing the current rate, the no-new-revenue rate, and the proposed rate.

For the average Benbrook homeowner with a median taxable value of $298,730, here’s how it breaks down:

• Current Year (FY 2024–25): With a taxable value of $298,088 and a rate of $0.555 per $100 of value, the average property tax bill comes to $1,654.
• No-New-Revenue Rate (FY 2025–26): If adopted, the rate would dip slightly to $0.550695, lowering the average bill to $1,645.
• Proposed Rate (FY 2025–26): Keeping the tax rate steady at $0.555, the average bill edges up to $1,658—a modest $13 increase from last year.

While the difference between the no-new-revenue rate and the proposed rate is small, the discussion underscores the ongoing challenge of balancing funding for city services with keeping taxes manageable for residents.

City leaders will weigh these options in the coming weeks, and residents are encouraged to stay informed and engaged as decisions are made.
