Cedar Park is asking homeowners to pay a little more so the city can keep the lights on without dramatic measures. City leaders are advancing a $216 million budget that would increase the average homeowner’s annual property tax bill by $49 — about a 2.5% rise. For the average Williamson County homeowner (average home valuation $519,802), the proposal translates to roughly $1,902 in city property taxes.
