Austin, Texas: In recent developments, Austin Community College (ACC) during its Board of Trustees meeting on August 5 announced the proposal of a new tax rate. The proposed rate is 0.1013 cents per $100 valuation. Touted to support the adopted 2025 fiscal year budget, the new rate if formally approved in the September meeting will not increase the average property tax bill.
ACC noted that the proposed tax rate is aimed at supporting its newly adopted budget for the fiscal year 2025. This announcement comes on the heels of ACC Board of Trustees approval of a $534 million budget. A significant portion, 67% to be precise, of this budget comes from property tax revenue.
The community college also revealed an increase in fall enrollment after it introduced free tuition earlier this year. These factors have a discernible correlative influence on the proposed tax rate. The new budget cycle will commence on September 1.
The proposed change in the tax rate is expected to bear no impact on the average property tax bill. On its face, this implies that taxpayers will not have to bear additional financial burden due to the rate change. This might come as a relief to those who are apprehensive about potential hikes in their bills following news of the tax rate proposal.
The change in the tax rate appears to be part of a larger plan for ACC. The increased enrollment coupled with the new budget indicates a period of growth and expansion for the college. The new tax rate, should it be approved, would allow ACC to maintain its current trajectory and continue investing in its students and facilities.
