Summary
Lubbock’s City Council just approved a new budget with a 6.78% property tax hike — a bump they trimmed from an even higher initial proposal — to fund critical safety upgrades and infrastructure improvements. The money will go toward hiring more officers, firefighters, and civilian staff, upgrading equipment, fixing streets, and boosting pay across departments — especially for public safety. While residents will feel the impact, city leaders say it’s a necessary investment to make Lubbock safer and more resilient, starting October 1.
