Budget Process

Your North Richland Hills city staff works throughout the spring and summer to prepare a budget for the new fiscal year that begins on October 1. The City Manager's proposed budget is presented to the City Council in July and the City Council holds work session meetings to review, discuss and provide direction on the budget and property tax rate. Public hearings on the proposed budget and property tax rate are held prior to its adoption by the City Council each September. Public hearings and City Council approval are also required to revise the annual budget after it has been adopted.
