Flower Mound Council to consider lower property tax rate

The Flower Mound Town Council will hold a public hearing on the proposed property tax rate during Monday’s council meeting.

The proposed budget includes decreasing the property tax rate to $0.405000 per $100 valuation, a 7.22% reduction from the current property tax rate. The town council has already approved an increased homestead exemption, from 2.5% to 5%.

The proposed budget will raise $1.7 million less revenue from property taxes than last year’s budget. The town projects to spend more than $6 million than it brings in, but the majority of the difference is related to spending balances that have been previously collected in the dedicated sales tax funds for capital projects.
