City of Von Ormy cuts property tax by 10% for 3rd year in a row
RE: Von Ormy cuts property tax by 10% for third year in a row.
Von Ormy City Council unanimously passed Mayor Art Martinez de Vara's proposed 10% property tax cut at its September 19th meeting. This marks the third year in a row that Von Ormy taxpayers will receive double digit tax relief. In an era when the federal government and many taxing jurisdictions are spending at record levels, Von Ormy is a model of fiscal constraint. Mayor Martinez de Vara said, "We have focused our efforts on essential municipal services, creating a business friendly environment and sharing the success of our economic development with our residents via tax relief."
Von Ormy has one of the lowest property tax rates in Bexar County, yet
the 2012 budget includes expanded city services such as fire protection, regular litter control, street lighting on I-35 and the construction of a new city park and community center on 15 acres it has recently purchased. In addition to its responsible capital improvement fund, the city has saved an extra $100,000 for an emergency reserve fund. In response to the pressures placed on residents from the national economic crisis, Mayor Art Martinez de Vara decided it was necessary to achieve the goal of returning more money back to Von Ormy's residents. "Most of our residents are tightening their household budgets due to the rising costs of food, gas and other necessities.
Von Ormy is the newest City in Bexar County and was established in 2008. Mayor Martinez de Vara was elected to be Von Ormy's first Mayor in 2008 and was re-elected in 2010.
