CITY OF PEARLAND FISCAL YEAR 2022 BUDGET
PROPERTY TAX RATE 6-YEAR TREND
CITY SERVICES SUPPORTED BY PROPERTY TAXES
Pearland’s property tax rate for Fiscal Year 2022 is $0.701416, a decrease of more than 2 cents from last year. The City’s tax rate is established annually through the budget process, which begins in February each year and runs through September. City Council and community stakeholders participate in a process facilitated by City staff to determine how to best invest in the City’s six Strategic Priorities, which lay the groundwork for sustainable growth and value across our community. The result is a budget recommendation that is paired with home values provided by the counties, which determines the appropriate tax rate. Once adopted, funds from property taxes go directly to services residents see every day, such as police, fire, infrastructure, parks and so much more.
