League City City Council voted unanimously to adopt a tax rate of $0.369 per $100 valuation of a home—a rate lower than the no-new-revenue rate—at its regular meeting Sept. 10. The backstory The fiscal year 2024-25 proposed budget is based upon 2024 preliminary taxable values estimated at $13.45 billion across the city, which is an increase of 4.32% over last year’s values, according to city documents. City staff first presented a proposed budget draft to city officials at a July 23 workshop, followed by subsequent meetings on July 30, Aug. 6 and Aug. 13. Expenditures for fiscal year 2024-25 are around $187.5 million, which is 8.8% more than the year-end estimate for fiscal year 2023-24’s
expenditures. The biggest expenditure increase was personnel costs, according to city documents. What else? Earlier this year, at a June 25 meeting, council also approved increasing the senior homestead tax exemption from $75,000 to $100,000, according to city documents. This increase will save existing properties $200,000 citywide, or an average of $43 annually per homestead property. League City is predicting 1,000 new homes in 2025, City Manager John Baumgartner said at a July 24 meeting. This pairs with a growing pop- ulation, which has increased by roughly 30,000 over the past decade and led to numerous housing developments on the city’s west side.
