Property tax bills will increase in Round Rock, Pflugerville and Hutto during the next fiscal year following extensive budget debates.

Round Rock increased its fiscal year 2016-17 property tax rate, while Pflugerville and Hutto decreased their tax rates. However, because property values have increased in all three cities, most residents will pay more  this fiscal year, which began Oct. 1.

Transportation improvements, city services and capital projects were among the most scrutinized subjects during city council discussions for this year’s budget. But funding sources for these essential city functions vary greatly.

A budget breakdown of each city, as well as Williamson and Travis counties, reveals how each entity prioritized its spending for FY 2016-17.
