NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE $ 0.25745230 per $100
VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE $ 0.28714984 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 the City of Glen Rose, Texas, 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 the City of Glen Rose may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate, unless the de minimis rate for the City of Glen Rose exceeds the voter-approval tax rate for the City of Glen Rose, Texas.
The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that the City of Glen Rose 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 9, 2025, AT 5:30 PM IN THE CITY OF GLEN ROSE CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 201 NE VERNON, GLEN ROSE, TEXAS.

However, you may express your support for or opposition to the proposed tax rate by contacting the members of the City Council of the City of Glen Rose at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
