Tax hearing sparsely attended in Floresville
In Floresville on August 17 only City Manager Andy Joslin City Finance Director Cynthia Sturm and a Wilson County News representative attended a public hearing on the city's proposed 2023 ad valorem tax rate of 43.0778 cents per $100 of taxable value. The rate matches the 202? figure, but a 10.497 percent rise in average home values could raise bills for property owners.

Floresville Tax Rate Question Sparks Voter Petition Right
Citizens may petition to hold an election to reduce Floresville’s proposed tax rate of 43.0778 cents per $100. If voters reject the proposal the rate would align with the voter-approval rate of 36.2601 cents, or rise by about 75.25 dollars per year per household. A May 2023 Bankrate reference notes the cost is near monthly groceries for a Texas household. The notice cites the city council rate exceeding the no new revenue and voter-approval thresholds.
