Corpus Christi property tax rate won't increase, still to be decided
The city of Corpus Christi’s property tax rate won’t increase, but residents still may pay more in the upcoming year without a rate decrease. The majority of the Corpus Christi City Council voted Aug. 11 not to adopt a property tax rate higher than the one in effect now of about 59.9 cents per $100 valuation. Many property tax owners whose valuations have increased would pay more if the tax rate remains the same as the current. A no-new-revenue rate, which would bring in the same revenue as the current year, would be about 59.6 cents per $100 valuation, according to a council presentation. Under the approved resolution, the council can ultimately adopt a lower property tax rate than what was set as the maximum, 59.9 cents per $100. The current tax rate is the basis of the proposed budget, which remains in discussions and has not been finalized. An initial vote and a public hearing on the property tax rate ultimately approved by the council are scheduled for Sept. 1. The rate requires two votes to be finalized. Approval of a property tax rate coincides with adoption of the city’s 2026-2027 fiscal year budget. Kirsten Crow covers city government

Buyers have more homes to choose from than they did at the start of the year, competition has balanced in a few slower markets, and price growth has remained relatively modest. Affordability is still a key issue and is limiting activity, though.
