Bryan City Council adopts 0.624 property tax rate; officials say higher valuations drive revenue change
Summary
The council approved the second and final reading of an ordinance adopting a property tax rate of 0.624 per $100 assessed valuation to support the FY2026 budget; presenters said the rate reflects valuation increases that yield an effective 5.9% revenue change.
At the meeting’s second-and-final reading, council members voted to adopt a property tax rate of 0.624000 per $100 assessed valuation for the 2026 tax year. A council member moving the ordinance described the measure as “effectively a 5.9% increase in the tax rate,” clarifying that rising property valuations — rather than a higher nominal rate — account for the increased tax revenues.
The mayor conducted a roll-call vote; the transcript records council members (Councilman Bridal, Councilman Sherliff, Houseman Edge, Councilman Sabato, Erickson, Torres and the mayor) recording approvals during the roll call and the ordinance passed. Council also ratified the tax rate as required to provide revenue in support of the fiscal year 2026 budget, and subsequently approved the FY2026 budget at the same meeting.
