A tax rate of $0.375845 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the Commissioners Court of County of Travis.
PROPOSED TAX RATE | $0.375845 | per $100 |
NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE | $0.343152 | per $100 |
VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE | $0.375845 | per $100 |
The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2025 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for County of Travis from the same properties in both the 2024 tax year and the 2025 tax year.
The voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate that County of Travis may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate.
The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that County of Travis is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2025 tax year.
A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON
Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. at the Commissioners Courtroom on the first floor of 700 Lavaca Street, Austin, Texas 78701.
Members of the public may also give comments on the proposed tax rate during the hearing by calling (844) 883-9182.
The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, County of Travis is not required to hold an election at which voters may accept or reject the proposed tax rate. However, you may express your support for or opposition to the proposed tax rate by contacting the members of the Commissioners Court of the County of Travis at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
