Clinton council adopts 2.9 mill property tax ordinance for 2025
Summary
Council adopted an ordinance levying a 2.9-mill real and personal property tax for 2025 for general city operations and approved an emergency clause to make it effective immediately; the ordinance passed with one council member voting no.
The Clinton City Council voted to adopt a 2.9-mill real and personal property tax for 2025, intended to fund general city operations, and adopted an emergency clause so the ordinance takes effect immediately.
City staff read the ordinance explaining the millage will be set at the same level as the prior year and that final figures must be provided to the county assessor and collector before the Van Beern County quorum court meeting. During the roll-call vote on adoption, one member recorded a 'no' vote (Pistol); the rest voted in favor, and the ordinance passed. Council then separately voted to adopt the emergency clause, which passed unanimously.
The ordinance text cites the need to publish the rate for 2025 and to comply with the county timeline for tax assessments. No additional rate changes were made in the meeting; staff told the council they would finalize the reporting documents for the county.
