This increase will fund additional police officers and firefighters to maintain strong public safety and pay debt payments for voter-approved bond projects. • New property valued at $539.5 million was added to the property tax roll since last year.This amount of new property will generate $2.0 million in additional property tax revenues for FY 2026. • The City's tax rate is approximately 20% of the average property owner's tax bill. The median taxable home value in Round Rock for FY 2026 is $395,240. An owner of a median taxable value home will pay $123 per month in City property taxes for next year.
