2026 Tax Year Proposed Property Tax Rate for the City of Humble, Texas.

A tax rate of $0.245682 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of City of Humble. The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate.

Higgins Street, Humble, Texas 77338. The proposed tax rate is greater than the voter-approval tax rate but not greater than the de minimis rate and does not exceed the rate that allows voters to petition for an election under Section 26.075, Tax Code. If City of Humble adopts the proposed tax rate, the City of Humble is not required to hold an election so that voters may accept or reject the proposed tax rate and the qualified voters of the City of Humble may not petition the City of Humble to require an election to be held to determine whether to reduce the proposed tax rate.
