Amanda Campos City Secretary BUDGET STATEMENT Texas Government Code Section 551.043 requires a governmental body to include a taxpayer impact statement on each meeting notice at which the governmental body will discuss or adopt a budget; however, the corporation does not establish a tax rate for the City of Burleson or have the authority to do so. Therefore, information from the taxpayer impact statement provided by the City of Burleson is reproduced below: Pursuant to Section 551.043, Government Code, the following taxpayer impact statement must be on the City Council meeting agenda at which the City Council will discuss or adopt a budget for the City of Burleson: *For a median-valued homestead property ($301,997 for tax year 2025, $297,979 for tax year 2026), the City’s portion of the property tax bill in dollars for the current fiscal year (FY25-26) is $2,180, the City’s portion of the property tax bill for the upcoming fiscal year (FY26-27) for the same property if the proposed budget is adopted is estimated to be $2,175, and the City’s portion of the property tax bill in dollars for the upcoming fiscal year (FY26-27) for the same property if a budget funded at the no-new-revenue rate
