City officials in Kerrville, Texas, are considering an 8% property tax increase following a disaster declaration prompted by severe flooding on July 4, 2025.

The declaration allows the city to raise taxes up to 8% above the no-new-revenue rate without holding an election, a provision permitted under Texas law for disaster recovery.

The Kerrville City Council authorized preliminary tax rate calculations in a vote on July 25, 2025, setting the stage for a possible rate hike. The goal is to generate funds for repairs and infrastructure recovery after the flood caused widespread damage.

During an August 3 meeting of the Kerr County Commissioners Court, local leaders reviewed tax rate projections and listened to public input. Some residents urged officials to maintain a neutral rate despite the financial strain.

Kerr County leaders, meanwhile, are weighing whether to keep county tax rates steady while seeking other funding sources for relief efforts.

Kerrville has historically adopted the no-new-revenue rate, avoiding increases in property taxes. However, the recent flooding has introduced new financial pressures, prompting city leaders to reevaluate their approach.

Resolution No. 21-2025, passed by the city council, formalizes the city’s intent to explore options for generating revenue needed for recovery, with the 8% increase as one of the mechanisms under consideration.

Officials continue to assess funding options, seeking a balance between fiscal responsibility and urgent recovery needs. Final decisions are expected as budget discussions for the 2025–2026 fiscal year continue.
