House Bill 3195 amends the Local Government Code to add certain disclosure, posting, and voting requirements for a proposed municipal or county budget that raises more property taxes than the previous year's budget. The bill requires the budget to include a cover page relating to the increase and requires both the proposed and adopted budgets to be posted on the municipal or county website if one is maintained. Notices for certain public hearings also are required to include a statement relating to the proposed property tax increase. House Bill 3195 also requires the adoption of a budget that requires a property tax revenue increase to be achieved by a separate vote of the governing body to specifically ratify the increase.
