The group
17

Texas cities of 50,000–99,999 that don’t run their own schools, 2022 Census of Governments (every government counted that year; Euless itself left out).

Over the years

Day-to-day spending is up 5% since 2022

Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Euless reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.

Day-to-day spending by fiscal year

2022$70.1 million
2023$72.8 million
2024$73.9 million

Per resident: 2022: $1,223 · 2023: $1,204 · 2024: $1,229.

Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.

Property tax

The typical homeowner pays $4,652 a year

Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 1.46% of the home’s value, vs 1.49% across Texas.
