...Summary
The City of Pflugerville City Charter and Local Government Code (§102.0065) require that a public hearing be held on the proposed fiscal year budget before it is adopted. The attached notice regarding the public hearing was published on the City website (www.pflugervilletx.gov) beginning August 12, 2026 and will continue until the adoption of the budget. The notice was also published in the Pflugerville Pflag on August 12, 2026.
Copies of the FY27 Proposed Budget are available for public inspection on the City's website at https://www.pflugervilletx.gov/budget.
The proposed budget was published by August 7, 2026, for public inspection as required by Texas Local Government Code 102.005.
Based on the certified property values received from the Travis and Williamson Central Appraisal Districts, the Travis County Tax Office has calculated the Voter Approval Rate at $0.5436 /$100 valuation and the No New Revenue rate at $0.5407/$100 valuation. The FY27 Proposed Budget for adoption includes a rate of $0.5436/$100 valuation. A public hearing on the tax rate will be held on September 8, 2026.
All required notices have been published. The required public hearing must be conducted prior to the adoption of the budget scheduled for September 8, 2026.
Total General Fund revenue is balanced with total proposed recurring expenditures. One-time purchases for Capital Outlay items total $2.8M. The one-time purchases will be funded from Fund Balance. Per the City Charter and Finance Policy a minimum of 25% Fund Balance is required. Funding a portion of the proposed capital outlay maintains the fund balance at 26% exceeding 25% policy requirement.
The City is projecting $351.1M of revenue in FY27, which represents a 42.3% decrease over the FY26 projections. The decrease is attributed to a reduction in bond proceeds in FY27. Budgeted expenditures are projected to decrease by 33.2%, or $246M, to $495.3M in FY27 over the FY26 projections. The largest decrease was in capital outlay. There were several large projects in FY26 that are coming to completion in FY27, reflecting less expenditures in this fiscal year.
The FY27 proposed budgeted expenditures of $495.3 includes:
Government Funds: General Fund $68.7M, Debt Service $43.6M, and General Capital Projects $123.9M.
Enterprise Funds: Water and Wastewater $67.4M, Utility Debt Service $43.6M, Solid Waste $6.4M, Utility Capital Projects $107.2M, and The Monarch Fund $6.1M.
