Guadalupe County sets proposed 2024 tax rate at 31.67 cents
Summary
The commissioner's court set a proposed tax rate of 31.67 cents for the 2024 tax year, down from the current 32.31 cents but above the no‑new‑revenue rate of 31.05. County leaders cited about $854 million in new appraised value that helped lower the effective burden per taxpayer.
Guadalupe County commissioners voted on Aug. 13 to set the proposed tax rate for the 2024 tax year at 31.67 cents per $100 of appraised value.
The judge told the court that the county had seen about $854 million in new appraised value come onto the tax roll, which has helped lower the effective tax burden despite rising service needs. "Our current tax rate for this year is 32.31. The no new revenue rate... came in at 31.05. The proposed tax rate... would be 31.67," the Judge said, explaining the figures used for public notice and the required upcoming hearings.
The court approved the motion to set the proposed rate; staff reminded the public that the required notices and public hearings on the tax rate will follow the published schedule and that the court will adopt the final rate as part of budget actions on Sept. 3.
