This podcast contains comments from the September 10, 2024 Brazos County commission regular meeting.

Brazos County commissioners approve the 2025 fiscal year budget and property tax rate after hearing from six public speakers. 

Five of the six supported the majority vote to increase the tax rate by one cent.

The 4-1 commission vote supported county judge Duane Peters proposal. Steve Aldrich was opposed.

Peters said the FY 25 county budget also spends $90 million dollars in savings. $75 million is going towards capital projects and $15 million is for maintenance and operations.

Peters also said there is a possibility of a tax rate increase in the fiscal year 2026 budget.
