Houston council approves proposed 2025 budget, holds tax rate at 2023 level for now
Summary
Town of Houston council accepted the proposed 2025 budget July 11 and decided to use the same tax assessment as 2023 because final county assessment data were not yet available; adjustments will be made once county figures arrive.
The Town of Houston council accepted the proposed 2025 budget at its July 11 meeting and agreed to use the same tax assessment level as 2023 temporarily because the town has not yet received final property assessments from the county.
Mayor Gregory Wingo explained the recommendation to keep the 2023 assessment in place until the county provides final assessment data and said adjustments will be made for 2025 once that information is available. Vice Mayor Tina King moved to accept and approve the proposed 2025 budget; Councilman David Mutter seconded and the motion carried.
The minutes record the council’s intent to defer any tax-assessment changes until the county’s final figures are received. The Finance, Statement of Revenue & Expenditures and Tax Collector reports were listed on the consent agenda and were approved as part of consent actions (with the Community Day Report removed from the consent agenda earlier in the meeting). The minutes do not contain a detailed line-item breakdown in the body text; they record approval of the proposed budget and note that adjustments will follow receipt of county data.
The council adjourned at 9:42 p.m.
