The Grandview City Council met Aug. 10 to consider the proposed fiscal year 2026-2027 budget, a possible ad valorem tax rate, and a nomination for the Texas Enterprise Zone Program. The meeting was held as a special session, and the agenda included a public hearing on the enterprise zone nomination. No minutes have been published yet, so no official decisions have been reported.

Budget and tax rate

The council received a report on the proposed FY 2026-2027 budget for all governmental and enterprise funds, described as Budget Workshop No. 3.

Both items were scheduled for a public hearing on Sept. 14, 2026, according to the agenda.

In addition, the council considered a resolution calling a uniform general election on Nov. 3, 2026, for Council Places 1, 3, and 5.

The agenda noted that potential tax incentives for projects within the city would be discussed. No action has been reported.

Grandview council to weigh budget, tax rate, street bonds

Grandview officials this week considered millions in street and water/sewer bond expenditures, a childcare facility permit, and rezoning requests, though no decisions have been published yet. Minutes from the July 30 Planning and Zoning Commission and August 3 City Council meetings are not yet available, so all items remain pending.
