The two-cent increase means the tax rate will become 64 cents per $100 valuation.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Corpus Christi City Council is looking at raising taxes to help pay for street repairs. It will be the second of three two-cent increase approved by voters to raise funds for residential street repair.

The two-cent increase means the tax rate will become 64 cents per $100 valuation. For a home costing $150,000, that means an annual increase of about $30.

On Tuesday, Council is expected to vote on a motion to set Sept. 17 as a date for a final vote on the hike. The City Manager will also outline the $217 million budget for next year.
