Northlake council adopts 29.5¢ property tax rate, material described as 13.62% increase
Summary
Council adopted a property tax rate of 29.5¢ per $100 assessed value after holding a public hearing with no speakers. Officials described the rate as an effective 13.62% increase and then ratified that increase by ordinance.
The NorthlakeTown Council held the statutorily required public hearing on the proposed property tax rate on Aug. 21 and adopted a tax rate of 29.5¢ per $100 of assessed value.
Chair (role) opened the hearing and noted no members of the public wished to speak. The chair then moved to adopt the rate, saying adoption of 29.5¢ represents an effective 13.62% increase. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
Later in the meeting council considered and approved an ordinance to ratify the property tax increase for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, 2025, and ending Sept. 30, 2026, as required under the Texas local government code; that motion was also approved unanimously. The council emphasized that the rate is the same nominal rate the town has carried for nearly 30 years but that state-mandated tax-rate procedures require the adopted wording and the ratification step.
