The San Marcos City Council approved a budget of $193.8 million for the 2017 fiscal year and voted to hold the property tax rate at 53.02 cents per $100 of taxable value for the 10th year in a row Tuesday night.
The City Council also approved adjusting drainage utility rates to fund expanded maintenance and construction of drainage channels in San Marcos; adjusting water and wastewater rates in continuation of a gradual process to fund future water supply; and adjusting solid waste and recycling rates.
“We are very proud of the fact that we have been able to maintain the same property tax rate for the last ten years while increasing our levels of service,” said City Manager Jared Miller. “This can be difficult to achieve in periods of large growth because of the increased demand on infrastructure. In addition to maintaining or increasing service levels, this budget includes notable enhancements to public safety and beautification.”
