3 issues in budget with critical priority
FY 2027 Municipal Budget and Property Tax Rate
The city adopted its fiscal year 2027 budget along with a reduced tax rate of $0.581 per $100, funding street maintenance, public safety, and a 2.5% employee raise.
Water Infrastructure Upgrades
Cleburne just snagged $42 million in state cash to fix up our aging water system. It’s a huge win that keeps our taps running long-term without sticking local residents with the full bill.
Chisholm Trail Outdoor Museum Funding
Cleburne’s population is booming and getting older, which means our ambulances are busier than ever. The city is now looking at state funding to keep emergency services running without breaking the bank.
