CANYON, Texas (KFDA) - Canyon council members set a property tax rate today that will result in a seven percent increase of income.
The actual rate will go from 40 to 39 cents per $100 of taxable value.
However, because of new property and higher appraisals, the city will take in almost $500,000 more than this year.
The rate is the highest they can set without triggering an election.
A public hearing was held before the vote, but nobody spoke.
