Cedar Hills council tentatively sets proposed general-property-tax rate to 0.000880 (total levy ~0.001125)
Summary
Council discussed and tentatively certified a proposed general-operations property-tax rate increase from 0.000736 to 0.000880 (total levy roughly 0.001125 when combined with general-obligation bond levy), which staff said equates to about $55.59 annually on the average residential bill.
Council and finance staff discussed a proposed property-tax increase that staff said would raise roughly $150,000 in operating revenue. Staff explained the proposed change increases the general-operations rate from 0.000736 to 0.000880 and that the total levy—including the general obligation bond levy—would be about 0.001125.
“Just to be clear, what the council will be voting on is increasing the property tax obligation for general operations from 0.000736 to 0.000880,” a staff representative said while reading the draft resolution and the proposed rate language for the record. Staff also presented average-dollar impacts: they said the average residential property would pay approximately $55.59 more per year (about $4.63 monthly) under the proposed change, while an average commercial property would see an increase of roughly $363.24 annually.
Council debated precise motion language, confirmed the bond levy would not change, and then approved Resolution 06-16-2026C setting the proposed tax rate as the tentative (proposed) levy; staff said the rate will be revisited during the truth-in-taxation process before final adoption later in the summer.
