- The City of El Paso has come up with an updated proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget that city officials believe will protect “essential services” while addressing “higher” public safety costs and lower revenue.
The new proposed budget increases the city’s property tax rate from $0.759649 to $0.809487 per $100 of taxable value, an increase of about 5 cents.
According to the city, roughly 0.9 cents of the proposed increase would replace an estimated $5.3 million in General Fund revenue lost after certified property values came in lower than originally projected. The remaining 4 cents would help fund the FY 2027 budget.
