McLennan County proposes 6-cent property tax increase that could cost average homeowner $90 more a year

McLennan County is considering a property tax increase. The proposed rate hike is 6 cents, which would affect local homeowners. For a home valued at $270,000, the increase would add $162 to the annual tax bill.

However, the City of Waco's steady tax rate would offset some of this cost. The net result would be an increase of about $90 per year for the average homeowner. Further details on the proposal and its implications are available from local news sources.
