City Council Moves to Adopt Property Tax Rates and Rezoning for 80 Acres

Benbrook City Council has taken significant steps towards shaping the city's financial and developmental landscape during their recent meeting on August 21, 2025. The council approved a motion to accept the 2025 certified appraisal roles, setting the anticipated property tax collection rate for the fiscal year 2025-2026 at 100%. This decision maintains the current tax rate of 0.55%, which has remained stable for the past decade, while also establishing a maximum property tax rate of 0.609754.

Council member Mr. Tyner emphasized the importance of this decision, ensuring clarity on the tax rate and its implications for residents. The council's approval allows Tarrant County to calculate the no-new-revenue tax rate and the voter approval tax rate, which are essential for future budgeting and financial planning.

In addition to the tax discussions, the council also reviewed a presentation from the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding a proposed rezoning of approximately 80 acres of land in the Thomas G. Zachary survey. The proposal aims to rezone the land from a multi-family planned development district to a reduced family district and a multiple-family district, reflecting the city's ongoing efforts to manage growth and development effectively.

These decisions highlight the council's commitment to maintaining fiscal responsibility while addressing the community's evolving needs. As Benbrook continues to grow, these measures will play a crucial role in shaping the city's future and ensuring that it remains a desirable place for residents.
