San Antonio’s University Health Asks for 3.8% Tax Rate Increase

San Antonio-based University Health System’s board of directors approved plans to ask for a 3.8 percent property tax rate increase from members of the public hospital system’s district in order to pay off a bond sale needed to finance a $900 million capital project, according to a San Antonio Express-News report.

The hospital’s revenue came in at $11.4 million under projections for the year, and its budget has dropped nearly $3 million due to decreasing property values in the district. The tax increase, however, will not be used to close this gap, but will instead be used only to pay for the bonds.

The bond sale will be the third and final bond sale for the building project, according to the report.
