2025-2026 City of Milford Budget


Proposed Tax Rate


NOTICE OF MEETING TO VOTE ON TAX RATE

A tax rate of $0.221325 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of City of Milford.

PROPOSED TAX RATE $0.221325 per $100

NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE $0.221325 per $100

VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE $0.229401 per $100

The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2025 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for the City of Milford from the same properties in both the 2024 tax year and the 2025 tax year. The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that the City of Milford may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate.

The proposed tax rate is not greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that the City of Milford is not proposing to increase property taxes for the 2025 tax year.

TEXAS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM


About Us

MILFORD, TEXAS. Milford is an incorporated rural community on U.S. Highway 77 and Interstate 35e twenty miles south of Waxahachie in southern Ellis County. In the early 1850s several men from Cherokee County came to the Mill Creek valley and bought land from Ellis County landowner Arvin Wright at fifty cents an acre. The new landowners arrived with their families in 1853. In 1854 Wright, William R. Hudson, and J. M. Higgins laid out town lots atop a ridge just south of the creek, and Hudson named the new community Milford, after a factory town near Boston he had read about. In 1853 the first house, Hudson's combined residence and general store, was built; Hudson was also the first postmaster when a post office was granted the next year. A two-story stone schoolhouse built in 1853 also served as a church and community hall until it was burned during the Civil War. A gristmill began operation at the community in 1857. Milford incorporated in 1888, and W. R. McDaniel was the first mayor.
