Notice of Proposed 2019 Tax Rate
City Council voted to consider a tax rate of 33.2 cents for 2019, which funds the fiscal year 2020 proposed budget, including key drainage and street improvements, other top priorities that directly benefit residents and enhance the quality of life in Sugar Land, and completion of the remaining voter authorized bond projects. The average residential tax bill will increase only $24 per year or 2.2% thanks to the homestead exemption increase approved in June.
You can now provide feedback online, in addition to two public hearings scheduled on the proposed rate before the final adoption in September. See the notice of proposed tax rate.
