Buckner Board approves tax levy ordinance, keeps rate unchanged
Summary
The Buckner Board of Aldermen adopted Bill No. 2506 (Ordinance No. 1101) setting the city tax levy for 2025; the board suspended rules and approved the ordinance by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
The Buckner Board of Aldermen voted to adopt Bill No. 2506 (Ordinance No. 1101), establishing the city's tax levy for the year 2025.
The measure, introduced during new business, corrected a 2024 reference and directs that the levy be placed on all property liable for taxation within Buckner. Presiding official (Mayor) said the tax rate "is just going to stay the same," and the board suspended the rules before taking a voice vote that recorded only "Aye" responses and no opposition.
Why it matters: The ordinance authorizes the levy used to calculate property tax bills for the coming fiscal year; keeping the rate steady preserves the city's revenue assumptions used in the budget the board adopted later in the session.
Board action: The motion to adopt the ordinance was made and seconded; the board approved the measure and the city clerk will follow standard publication and filing procedures prior to placing the levy on property tax rolls.
The decision has no further board‑recorded conditions and will be reflected in the property tax notices for the applicable tax year.
