Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in San Marcos public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Property Tax Rate
San Marcos homeowners, get ready for a potential property tax hike! The city is looking at a rate of $0.6769 per $100 valuation, partly due to budget concerns. This could mean more money out of your pocket soon.
State Threat to Defund City Over Council Resolution
San Marcos passed a ceasefire-related resolution, and now Gov. Abbott is threatening to cut state funding in response. That could put a real dent in the city budget, so it’s worth watching if you care about local services and tax dollars.
Participatory Budgeting
San Marcos is letting residents decide how to spend $200,000 of city money. Starting February 1st, you can submit project ideas, refine them, and vote on what gets funded. It's your chance to directly influence local improvements!
