In accordance with Section 26.04 of the Texas Property Tax Code, the following items are presented for Council consideration relative to Tax Year 2026:
Total Appraised Value = $ Not Available *
Total Exemptions = $ Not Available *
Total Taxable Value = $4,653,789,694 (HCAD Estimate)
Total Taxable Value of New Property = $3,058,783
Total Taxable Value of Annexed Property = $7,143,862

Calculated No-New Revenue Tax Rate = $0.712411/$100

Note: because the certified roll is not available at this time, HCAD can only provide a certified estimate of the taxable value (see letter attached). The “*” values are currently not available from HCAD but are not used in the truth-in-taxation calculation.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Current ad valorem taxes represent approximately 38 percent of the total General Fund revenue in the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget.
Recommended action
Acceptance of the submitted 2026 Tax Roll and the calculated No-New Revenue Tax Rate and the Voter-Approval Tax Rate.
