McCulloch County adopts FY2025–26 budget and sets tax rate at $0.61019
Summary
The McCulloch County Commissioners Court adopted the FY2025–26 budget and set the total tax rate at $0.61019 per $100 valuation, raising maintenance and operations revenue; the actions were taken by recorded votes after a public hearing.
McCulloch County Commissioners Court adopted the fiscal year 2025–26 budget and set a total tax rate of $0.61019 per $100 of taxable value, the court recorded at its September sessions.
County Judge Frank Trull said the court received and reviewed materials related to weather-related damage to county buildings before taking up budget business. After a public hearing on the proposed budget, the court voted to adopt the budget and ratified the property tax increase reflected in that plan under Texas Local Government Code §111.008(c). Commissioner Randy Deans moved to adopt the budget using “option A” and Commissioner Carol Anderson seconded; the record vote to adopt option A (.61019 total rate) carried 4-0, with one commissioner absent.
The order sets the Interest & Sinking (I&S) rate at $0.075963, the Maintenance & Operation (M&O) rate at $0.495242, and the Farm-to-Market and Lateral Road M&O rate at $0.038985. The court noted that the selected tax rate will raise more revenue for maintenance and operations than last year’s rate.
The court opened and closed the required public hearings on the budget and the tax rate during the Sept. 8 session and recorded that no changes to the proposed budget were made under Tex. Loc. Gov. Code §111.008(b). The county clerk’s minutes show the motions and seconds leading to the recorded votes.
The adoption concludes the county’s formal budget process for FY2025–26; the court did not specify additional implementing ordinances during the session. Future dates and any required publication were not specified in the record.
