Shelly Powell+FollowEl Paso tax bills rising even with lower ratesEven though El Paso’s property tax rates dropped a bit, most homeowners will still see higher bills this fall. That’s because home values keep climbing, so the average household will pay about $7 more a month to the city and $11 more a month to the county. City leaders say the extra money is going toward things like police, fire, and parks—top priorities for many locals. On the bright side, seniors and people with disabilities get a bigger exemption, saving them around $342 a year. How do you feel about paying more for these services? #RealEstate #ElPaso #PropertyTax00Share
