Frisco City Council directs staff to maintain FY27 property tax rate

The Frisco City Council directed staff on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, to maintain the FY27 property tax rate at the current .425517 rate adopted for FY26. The decision was made during a City Council Budget Work Session. In addition to holding the property tax rate steady, the council asked staff to consider further reducing the proposed utility rate increases for the upcoming fiscal year.

Residents are invited to participate in the next public hearing regarding the proposed FY27 budget and tax rate. The hearing will take place during the City Council meeting on Tuesday, September 15, beginning at 6:30 p.m. This session will provide an opportunity for the public to review the proposed budget and offer input on the tax rate and utility adjustments.

The city has published the proposed FY27 budget for public review. Residents can access the full budget document, information about the budget process, and details regarding upcoming presentations at FriscoTexas.gov/Budget. The city encourages residents to review these materials before the September 15 meeting to ensure they are informed when participating in the public hearing.

The direction to keep the property tax rate at the FY26 level represents a specific instruction from the council to city staff as they finalize the FY27 budget. The council’s request to explore further reductions in utility rates indicates an ongoing review of the proposed increases. The final budget and tax rate will be subject to the public hearing process and subsequent council action.
