In collaboration with Mayor Parker and fellow councilmembers, Councilman Blaylock's steadfast commitment helps secure a no-tax-increase budget for the City of Fort Worth, prioritizing public safety and street maintenance.
When I first ran for council, I pledged I would never support a tax increase. In 2022, the budget process had already begun before I took office. I was a freshman councilman and admittedly had a lot to learn. In my first tax vote, I was the lone voice for a no-new-revenue property tax rate (the rate at which your taxes will not increase, no matter how high your property values go up).
In 2023, I started early, built relationships, and achieved three votes for the no new revenue rate—progress, but not a majority.
I’m proud to announce that I, Mayor Parker, and all of my council colleagues have committed to passing a tax rate that will not raise your taxes. We are also committed to making public safety and street maintenance priorities in the budget.
This achievement was only possible with your continued support. Thank you for helping deliver this win for Fort Worth.
Your District 10 City Councilman,
Alan Blaylock
