Your North Richland Hills City Council and city staff work throughout the summer to prepare a budget for the new fiscal year that begins on October 1. This year’s budget lowers the property tax rate by 1.3 cents to $0.572 per $100 property value. The budget is balanced and continues the city services residents depend on every day including police, fire and emergency medical services, street, drainage and utility infrastructure, animal control, code compliance, building and health inspections, library services, and parks and recreation.
In addition, the budget includes replacement of an ambulance, worn carpeting at the library and aging playground equipment at Linda Spurlock Park.
