Fiscal Year 2023 takes place Oct. 1, 2022 through Sept. 30, 2023. The Round Rock City Council approved Thursday, Sept. 8, 2022, a $555.5 million budget and tax rate of $0.342 per $100 of valuation for Fiscal Year 2023. The Fiscal Year 2023 budget focused on infrastructure spending and new programs designed to meet the demands of a growing community. The budget included a record amount for road construction and additional public safety staff to deal with increasing challenges faced by residents.Â
The property tax rate for the Fiscal Year starting Oct. 1, 2021, is $0.397 per $100 of valuation, 4.2 cents less than the FY 2021 City property tax rate of $0.439. However, the rate is an increase of 1.0 cent, or 2.5% above the No New Revenue rate of $0.387441, which is the rate that generates the same amount of revenue as the previous year based on the growth in property values from the previous year.
The increased tax rate provided additional funding to pay for the City’s road expansion program, Driving Progress.
