Denton County residents are being called to voice their opinions on the county's financial roadmap for the coming year. A public hearing on the proposed Denton County budget for the 2024-2025 fiscal year is scheduled for September 10, confirmed by Denton County. The meeting will take place at the Denton County Administrative Courthouse at 10:00 A.M., a time set for public engagement and discourse.
The budget in question is set to raise property taxes by over $18 million, signaling a 6.29% increase from the previous year. Of this increase, around $15.7 million is tax revenue to be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year. This maneuver reflects the government's approach to dealing with the infrastructural developments and demand for services brought on by new properties and expansions in the county.
For those interested in reviewing the numbers before the meeting, the proposed budget will be made accessible on September 5. Documentation will be available in the County Budget Office, the County Clerk's Office, and the County Auditor's Office. Additionally, it will be posted on the county's official website, ensuring transparency and community access in the days leading up to the hearing.
