Adopted FY 2019 Budget

What's ahead for FY 2019? Enhanced homeowner tax relief, Champions Club at The Marq Southlake, Connecting Southlake with better mobility on our roads, and a Protect Southlake plan for even better security at our schools.

The City's Capital Improvement Projects are the City's "Big Projects." They are large investments in our City and include improvements to State Highway 114, North White Chapel near Carroll High School, a new vision for Central Park at the Shops of Southlake and important updates to our water system to keep it at top standards.

The FY 2019 budget document contains a detailed and transparent financial look at the plans for FY 2019, the City's plan to get the most value out of the everyday services that make Southlake great. For a high-level preview of what's proposed including the proposed tax rate, read the City Manager's Transmittal Letter to the City Council.
