Garden Ridge’s latest budget notice estimates the city property-tax bill on a median taxable homestead at $1,810 for fiscal 2027, up from $1,755 this year, if the proposed budget is adopted.
Garden Ridge homeowners with the city’s median taxable homestead value of $712,130 would pay an estimated $55 more per year, equal to about $4.58 a month.
The city’s legal notice says the proposed budget would raise $54,259 more in property-tax revenue than the previous budget, a 2.054% increase. New property added to the tax roll accounts for $5,560 of that amount.
Garden Ridge also published a separate estimate of $1,743 for the same median-valued homestead under a balanced budget funded at the no-new-revenue rate. That alternative is $12 below the current-year example; it is not the proposed-budget estimate.
The City Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing and may act on the fiscal 2027 proposed budget at 6 p.m. Aug. 26 in City Council Chambers, 9400 Municipal Parkway. The notice invites oral comments at the hearing and says written comments may be submitted in advance under the city’s public-hearing procedures.
The $1,810 figure remains an estimate tied to the proposed budget. Earlier Garden Ridge budget coverage tracked the prior estimate; the council’s Aug. 26 action will establish what the city adopts.
