AUSTIN, Texas — The Austin City Council is scheduled to vote on a proposed tax rate election on Thursday, as part of ongoing efforts to address the city’s current budget deficit.

The measure, if approved, would require voter authorization and could lead to changes in the city’s property tax rate. The council is considering the proposal during its budget planning process for the upcoming fiscal year, with a focus on closing the financial shortfall and maintaining essential city services.

City officials have presented various strategies to manage the deficit, including the potential tax rate election. Financial data and recommendations have been provided by city management to assist council members in evaluating the implications of the proposal.

The discussions have included potential impacts on public services, city operations, and residents. Community organizations and residents have expressed concerns about possible tax increases, prompting calls for transparency and public engagement.

Any approved tax changes must comply with legal requirements. The outcome of the vote will determine the next steps in the city’s budget process and influence Austin’s overall financial planning and economic outlook.

City officials have emphasized that the decision is part of a broader conversation about fiscal responsibility and long-term sustainability. The council is expected to announce its decision following the vote.
