SECTION 1:No-New-Revenue Tax Rate
The NNR tax rate enables the public to evaluate the relationship between taxes for the prior year and for the current year based on a tax rate that would produce the same amount
of taxes(no new taxes)if applied to the same properties that are taxed in both years.When appraisal values increase,the NNR tax rate should decrease.
The NNR tax rate for a county is the sum of the NNR tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies.
While uncommon,it is possible for a taxing unit to provide an exemption for only maintenance and operations taxes.In this case,the taxing unit will need to calculate the NNR tax
rate separately for the maintenance and operations tax and the debt tax,then add the two components together.

plus the applicable percentage allowed by law.This rate accounts for such things as salaries,utilities and day-to-day operations.
2. Debt Rate:The debt rate includes the debt service necessary to pay the taxing unit's debt payments in the coming year.This rate accounts for principal and interest on bonds
and other debt secured by property tax revenue.
The voter-approval tax rate for a county is the sum of the voter-approval tax rates calculated for each type of tax the county levies.In most cases the voter-approval tax rate
exceeds the no-new-revenue tax rate,but occasionally decreases in a taxing unit's debt service will cause the NNR tax rate to be higher than the voter-approval tax rate.

year is equal to that year's adopted tax rate subtracted from that year's voter-approval tax rate adjusted to remove the unused increment rate multiplied by that year's current total
value."'I
The difference between the adopted tax rate and adjusted voter-approval tax rate is considered zero in the following scenarios:
• a tax year in which a taxing unit affected by a disaster declaration calculates the tax rate under Tax Code Section 26.042;"
• a tax year in which the municipality is a defunding municipality,as defined by Tax Code Section 26.0501(a);"or
• after Jan.1,2022,a tax year in which the comptroller determines that the county implemented a budget reduction or reallocation described by Local Government Code
Section 120.002(a)without the required voter approval."

SECTION 7:Voter-Approval Tax Rate Adjustment for Emergency Revenue Rate
In the tax year after the end of the disaster calculation time period detailed in Tax Code Section 26.042(a),a taxing unit that calculated its voter-approval tax rate in the manner
provided for a special taxing unit due to a disaster must calculate its emergency revenue rate and reduce its voter-approval tax rate for that year.'°
Similarly,if a taxing unit adopted a tax rate that exceeded its voter-approval tax rate,calculated normally,without holding an election to respond to a disaster,as allowed by Tax
Code Section 26.042(d),in the prior year,it must also reduce its voter-approval tax rate for the current tax year.49
This section will apply to a taxing unit other than a special taxing unit that:
• directed the designated officer or employee to calculate the voter-approval tax rate of the taxing unit in the manner provided for a special taxing unit in the prior year;and
• the current year is the first tax year in which the total taxable value of property taxable by the taxing unit as shown on the appraisal roll for the taxing unit submitted by the
assessor for the taxing unit to the governing body exceeds the total taxable value of property taxable by the taxing unit on January 1 of the tax year in which the disaster
occurred or the disaster occurred four years ago.This section will apply to a taxing unit in a disaster area that adopted a tax rate greater than its voter-approval tax rate
without holding an election in the prior year.
Note:This section does not apply if a taxing unit is continuing to calculate its voter-approval tax rate in the manner provided for a special taxing unit because it is still within the
disaster calculation time period detailed in Tax Code Section 26.042(a)because it has not met the conditions in Tax Code Section 26.042(a)(1)or(2).

Dear Round Rock Residents,
I am pleased to present the City of Round Rock's proposed budget for fiscal year October 1, 2025 through
September 30, 2026. This budget outlines planned expenditures and projected revenues across all City funds.
This document, along with our ongoing conversations, reflects our commitment to maintaining high-quality
services and advancing the City Council's vision of keeping Round Rock among the top cities in the nation. Our
community continues to thrive thanks to smart long-term planning and a resilient spirit. We are on the right
path, and I am continually inspired by Round Rock's ability to achieve great things, even in the face of challenges.
Strategic Priorities
In February 2025, the City Council affirmed Round Rock's 6 strategic goals. The total proposed budget of$789.7
million is focused on furthering these goals listed below:

The City's most recent biennial citizen survey highlighted that traffic and transportation continues to be a top
concern of our community. While major improvements to IH-35, SH 45, and US 79 remain under the jurisdiction
of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and outside the scope of our City budget, this proposed
budget does include significant funding for improvements to the City's transportation network that will provide
relief to our residents. Some of these improvements include:
• Continued annual funding for neighborhood street maintenance with $4.3 million for FY 2026. Since 2015,
the City has allocated $49.6 million to maintain neighborhood streets.
• Round Rock will spend $161.7 million on its road expansion program with major construction including
County Road 112, Greenlawn Boulevard, sections of Gattis School Road, Harrell Parkway, Eagles Nest, Old
Settlers Boulevard, Red Bud Lane, and Wyoming Springs.

Round Rock's recreation and park amenities set our City apart from many municipalities. The FY 2026 Proposed
Budget includes funding for improvements and connections to these amenities that will continue to make Round
Rock distinctive. Some of these improvements and connections include:
• Trail connectivity. Significant work is underway on East/West trail connections with expected completion of
Heritage Trail East in 2027. This will complete the City's west to east trail system.
• Construction continues on multiple Old Settlers Park 2023 voter-approved bond funded projects including,
Lakeview Area Improvements and Pavilion, Rock'N River expansion,Athletic Performance Center,Track
and Field Facilities, and the Multipurpose Complex expansion.
• Sports Center expansion, another 2023 voter-approved bond project, is underway and estimated to be
complete Fall 2025.
• Continued funding of our ever popular, family-friendly events including the Fourth of July Parade,
Hometown Holiday Lights, Light up the Lake, Music on Main, Arts Fest and more.
The City continues to invest in the historic downtown in FY 2026 with new facilities and upgraded infrastructure
in the heart of our community. Some of these upgrades include:
• Remodel of the Griffith Building &Paseo, currently under construction,to house the Round Rock Chamber
of Commerce, Convention & Visitor Bureau and the Arts Center. Funding is also included for a Downtown
Arts Receptionist, an Art Sculpture for the Paseo, and a Chihuly Chandelier for the new Arts Center at the
Griffith Building.
• Addition of park land and trail connectivity situated along Brushy Creek on the north side of Downtown.
• Town Green Downtown Park construction is estimated to begin September 2025.Town Green will transform
the space around the iconic water tower, bringing open lawns, plaza seating, beautiful landscaping, vendor
areas, and more to the heart of downtown.
Round Rock's widely popular recreation and culture programs have seen a large increase in participation and
attendance. To maintain these high-value programs and events provided to our citizens, this year's proposed
budget includes two new employees to join the City's award-winning Parks & Recreation Department.
Public Safety remains a top priority for the City Council and Round Rock consistently ranks as one of the safest
cities in the nation. This proposed budget also includes funding for several initiatives to secure the highest level
of public safety for years to come with 17 total new positions, including:
• Ten Police Officers to assist with the growth in demand for policing services,as well as one Law Enforcement
Support Technician. This will allow the department to maintain its ability to conduct proactive patrol of the
City and maintain its existing response time to priority calls and create a new patrol district.
• Additional staff consisting of six new Firefighters aimed to improve the current staffing factor to keep up
with the growing demand of the Fire department.
• Construction is underway for 2023 voter-approved bonds for public safety. Fire Station 10 is expected to be
complete Fall 2026. Design plans are underway for Fire Station 11 and Phase 2 of the Public Safety Training
Center, featuring an expanded driving track and additional classroom space to better support first responder
training.

Proposed Property Tax Rate
The proposed property tax rate for FY 2026 is $0.372 per $100 of valuation, 1.2 cents more than the FY 2025
nominal rate of$0.360.
• The proposed rate of$0.372 is an increase of 2.4 cents or 6.9% above the no-new-revenue tax rate of$0.348.
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.
Sales tax continues to be an important revenue thanks to the strong local economy. Sales tax revenues help
the property tax rate as well.
• Built into the 2% local option sales tax rate is a half-cent for property tax reduction.
• The half-cent sales tax reduces the property tax rate for FY 2026 by 11.8 cents. That saves the median
homeowner $39 a month or 24% on their monthly City tax bill.
