Henderson County sets proposed 2025 tax rate and schedules public hearings for Sept. 9
Summary
Commissioners proposed a 2025 tax rate of 0.3311493 for the 2026 budget and scheduled public hearings on Sept. 9 for the tax rate and the 2026 county budget.
Henderson County Commissioners Court voted unanimously to propose a 2025 tax rate of 0.3311493 — the voter-approval rate — to fund the county's 2026 budget and set public hearings for both the proposed tax rate and the budget on Sept. 9, 2025.
The court's recorded breakdown of the cumulative rate is: general fund 0.274289, Road and Bridge Fund 0.017228, and farm-to-market and flood control 0.039976. Commissioners explained that the rate is presented as the 2025 tax rate that will fund the 2026 fiscal year; state law requires the court to set a proposed rate and hold public hearings after the proposed budget is filed.
The court set the public hearing for the proposed tax rate for Sept. 9, 2025, at 9:05 a.m., and the public hearing for the proposed 2026 county budget for Sept. 9, 2025, at 9:10 a.m. Both motions passed unanimously, and staff will publish required notices and hold the hearings on the scheduled dates.
