Brazos County Commission Proposes Increasing The Property Tax Rate Following A Debate Between Two Members

A majority of Brazos County commissioners approve increasing the property tax rate for the fiscal year 2025 budget. That followed debates during Tuesday’s (August 27) budget workshop and regular meeting between county judge Duane Peters and commissioner Steve Aldrich. Peters, who made the motion to increase the property tax rate by one cent, wanted to protect the county’s fund balance…also known as the county’s savings account…to pay for capital projects instead of borrowing money. Aldrich failed in his attempt to approve a no new revenue property tax rate, which would have reduced the FY 2025 rate. Peters motion was approved by a four to one vote. A public hearing on the FY 25 Brazos County tax rate and budget will be held September 10th at 9 a.m. Click HERE to read and download the Brazos County proposed 2025 budget.
