Topics getting the most attention in Burnet County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Burnet just approved a yearly 3% rate hike on your water, sewer, and electric bills starting this October and lasting until 2031 to pay for fixing up local infrastructure. Expect your monthly utility bills to slowly creep up every year for the next several years.
Burnet just passed a bigger city budget that keeps the tax rate steady at 61 cents, but rising property values and 3% utility hikes mean you're still paying more this year. The extra money is going toward new city projects, employee raises, and keeping up with town growth.
