New Braunfels estimates its proposed budget and tax rate would lower the city property-tax bill by $24 for a median-valued Comal County homestead and $39 for one in Guadalupe County.
The city’s taxpayer-impact statement puts the proposed bills at $1,150 in Comal County and $971 in Guadalupe County. The current-year examples are $1,174 and $1,010, respectively.
Those are median-homestead examples attached to the agenda for an Aug. 17 City Council workshop. They establish the proposal’s estimated effect, not an adopted budget, tax rate or bill for any individual property.
What the City’s Examples Show
In Comal County, the value used for the median-homestead example falls from $287,080 to $281,180. In Guadalupe County, it falls from $246,910 to $237,372.
