Beaverton Committee Approves Budget with No Tax Hike

Beaverton's Budget Committee has approved a $208 million budget for the next fiscal year that does not raise the tax raise on homes.

The budget keeps the tax rate at $4.38 per $1,000 of assessed home value.

"This budget holds the line on spending and calls for no increases to our property taxes or water rates," said Mayor Denny Doyle. "We built a budget that delivers on our goals while keeping our expenses down. We are also building a healthy contingency to help us prepare for our future."

The budget supports city priorities such as planning for a new public safety center, intersection improvement for Canyon Road, safe alternative routes for bicycles in the city’s core, and support for additional police officer to maintain our public safety standards.

The City Council will meet on June 21 to consider adopting the budget.
