The Corsicana City Council approved a motion signaling the intent to set the tax rate for the 2026-2027 budget year at $0.5208 per $100 of taxable valuation, during Monday’s meeting of the Corsicana City Council.
This proposed rate is the No New Revenue Rate, which is expected to generate an additional $17.40 annually on a home valued at $100,000.
This increase is due to an increase in property valuation.
The rate would raise additional funds for Maintenance and Operations.
The item passed 4-0, by a rollcall vote. Pct. 2 Councilwoman Shayla Johnson, a teacher at Corsicana ISD, was absent from the council meeting due to a scheduling conflict with Meet the Teacher Night, also held on Aug. 10.
The council accepted a series of bids for fuel, concrete curb and gutter, asphalt, hot mix, gravel, and other road materials during Monday’s meeting of the Corsicana City Council.
Corsicana’s Public Works Director, Terry Franks, recommended that bids from multiple sources be approved to ensure that materials are available when necessary.
Several pieces of antiquated IT equipment were approved for sale trade donation or disposal.
No appointments or ordinances were considered on Monday.
Following an Executive Session the council decided to take no action after receiving legal counsel pertaining to a proposed decorum policy which was first brought before the council in July.
The item has been placed on the table since that initial discussion.
The Corsicana City Council meets normally meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month in the Council Chambers of the City Government Center, located at 200 N. Twelfth St. in Corsicana.
