The El Paso City Council has proposed a tax rate to fund the city's 2026-27 budget. This rate could lead to an increase in city property tax bills for homeowners. The proposed tax rate is expected to raise bills by about $132 per year for the average home.

The City Council voted to introduce an ordinance to adopt this rate, with some representatives voting in favor and others against. Further details about the proposed tax rate and its potential impact are available from El Paso Matters.
