Dallas City Council Rejects Idea Of 8% Property Tax Increase

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – The Dallas City Council rejected Wednesday a resolution that could have resulted in up to an 8% property tax increase.

COVID-19 has led to business closures and layoffs which in turn has created budget shortfalls for the city.

The City Manager asked the Mayor and City Council to pass a resolution that would have allowed the city to ask the county and the tax office to see what an 8% property tax increase would look like.

The council rejected that proposal in an 11-3 vote.
