A public hearing on the proposed 2024 tax rate will be held on October 21, 2024, at 6:30 PM at 21603A Fox Trail Lane, Humble, Texas, 77338. This is an important opportunity for community members to provide input on the proposed tax changes.

Tax Rate Analysis

The proposed tax rate for 2024 is $0.6100 per $100 of property value, a decrease from last year’s rate of $0.6500 per $100.

This represents a 6.15% decrease in the tax rate compared to the previous year. However, due to an increase in property values, the average homestead taxable value has risen from $189,745 last year to $203,082 this year.

As a result, the tax on the average residence will slightly increase from $1,233.34 to $1,238.80, which amounts to a $5.46 annual increase.
