Mayor Discusses Proposed FY2026 Budget and Reduced Tax Rate

On Tuesday, September 9, the  League City Council is scheduled to vote on a second and final reading of a proposed Fiscal Year 2026 Budget, which begins October 1, 2025, and extends through September 30, 2026.

The proposed $524 million budget includes $194 million in funding for operations and $330 million for capital improvement projects.  The budget also includes a proposed no-new-revenue property tax rate of $0.36355 per $100, which is lower than the current property tax rate of $0.369. If approved by Council at the September 9 meeting, this will be the eleventh consecutive year that the League City property tax rate has decreased.

Recently, League City Mayor Nick Long talked about the proposed FY2026 budget and League City’s declining property tax rate as part of his “Short Talks with Mayor Long” video series.
