In a nutshell
The nearly $26 million in bonds are planned to support the construction of a new public safety facility and animal shelter.
City staff said the public safety facility will help reduce response times throughout the city and establish a presence in the southern portion of Cibolo.
The shelter will help expand animal service capabilities and provide additional space for animal intakes.
The tax rate for fiscal year 2024-25 will also be on the ballot, asking voters to increase the property tax rate to $0.499 per $100 valuation to support the city budget. This would be an increase compared to the FY 2023-24 rate of $0.4699 per $100 valuation.
At a home value of $350,621—what city staff estimates to be the average home value in Cibolo—a homeowner would pay around $1,749 in annual taxes to the city should the VARTE pass.
