Financial Transparency
What is Financial Transparency?
When ESD 16 talks about financial transparency, we are referring to local government opening its books to the public so that taxpayers can see exactly where their money is going. Financial transparency ensures that taxpayer dollars are spent effectively and efficiently by ensuring that all decisions are made in the open and on the record. Financial transparency means that taxpayers can review and examine documents and question policymakers' for the way tax dollars are spent.

Visit Texas.gov/PropertyTaxes to find a link to your local property tax database on which you can easily access information regarding your property taxes, including information regarding the amount of taxes that each entity that taxes your property will impose if the entity adopts its proposed tax rate. Your local property tax database will be updated regularly during August and September as local elected officials propose and adopt the property tax rates that will determine how much you pay in property taxes.
