Council adopted a property tax rate of 0.295343 after the chair announced that the motion passed. That equals 29.5343 cents for each $100 of taxable property value.
In the city’s median-homestead example, the city tax rises from $1,358 to $1,605, an increase of $247 a year, or about $20.58 a month. The example also assumes the median homestead value increases from $522,710 to $543,481.
The packet’s $0.295343 rate is 13.7% above the 2025 rate of $0.259798 per $100. On an unchanged $100,000 of taxable value, the city portion would increase by about $35.55 a year. A previous Comal.News report covered the earlier rate proposal.
Two no-new-revenue figures
The no-new-revenue rate is a statutory comparison, not last year’s tax rate. It estimates the rate that would produce the same revenue from property taxed in both years.
Bulverde’s taxpayer-impact statement lists a no-new-revenue rate of $0.258874 per $100. A later tax-hearing notice in the packet lists $0.255874. That later notice also lists a $0.273376 voter-approval rate and a $0.295343 de minimis rate.
The required tax-rate motion describes the adopted rate as an effective 15.43% increase. That statutory comparison uses the no-new-revenue benchmark; it is different from the 13.7% increase over the city’s 2025 rate.
