Grapevine lowers tax rate for FY 2026-2027

The city of Grapevine approved a tax rate of $0.226817 per $100 valuation for fiscal year 2026-27 at its Sept. 15 meeting.

The details: The approved tax rate determines property tax revenue for the city and is 4.4% lower than the current FY 2025-26 rate of $0.237228 per $100 of valuation.

The approved tax rate is the no-new-revenue rate, meaning the city will generate the same amount of revenue as the previous fiscal year, accounting for any property value changes.

Put in perspective

This continues the trend of the city lowering its tax rate annually since FY 2020-21, according to previous reporting.

Looking ahead: Fiscal year 2026-27 begins on Oct. 1, 2026.
