## Resource

Lubbock’s city council has locked in a property tax hike of $103 for most homeowners to fund new, landmark agreements with police and fire departments — a one-year deal adding 10 officers and a 5% pay raise for cops, plus a historic six-year contract for firefighters focused on mental and physical wellness. The tax increase stems from an extra 3.2 cents per $100 of home value, officially setting the budget and paving the way for critical public safety investments.
