The City of San Antonio is considering a $3.96 billion budget that, despite its record size, includes some attempts to back off spending.
The budget proposal for the upcoming 2025 fiscal year, which staff presented Thursday morning, is 5.8 % larger than FY 2024′s $3.74 billion adopted budget and is broken into three parts:The city council is expected to pass a final version Sept.
Property tax revenue is also expected to go up by a “pre-COVID” amount in FY 2025. Walsh said the projected amounts of property tax revenue have continued to shrink as as more people apply for homestead exemptions, over-65 exemptions, and appeal their valuations. For the second year in a row, the city wants to raise fees for its medium and large trash carts. The proposed 50-cent increase is mostly to fund increased labor and equipment costs, though the city is also adding another illegal dumping crew to help clean up illegal dumping sites and homeless camps.The city also plans to increase the fee for unpermitted false alarms from $75 to $250, and from $125 to $250 for commercial alarms.
The cost of each transport is about $3,700, Walsh said, and most other major Texas cities charge between $1,400 and $1,500. Given the tight financial picture, that means any movement toward the fire union’s proposals will come with a tangible trade-off in the budget.
