Amarillo Property Tax Debate | Amarillo News

Amarillo’s city council is weighing a proposed property tax hike to 0.44728 per $100 of value — up from 0.43070 — but don’t panic just yet: the final rate isn’t locked in. While a lower rate might sound good, rising home values could still mean higher bills. The tax funds daily city operations and debt repayment, and council members like Les Simpson are pushing for relief amid soaring grocery and utility costs. City staff will return with detailed figures later this week, with the final budget and tax rate expected by September.
